I wonder how bad it would be if Ubuntu and Debian made this the default anyway. Instead of a script, I simply changed the global settings in /etc/sysctl.conf: (the file is longer, I only paste the modified lines here) # protect bottom 64k of memory from mmap to prevent NULL-dereference # --- breaks dosemu and wine --- vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536 vm.mmap_min_addr = 0 With this modification, after the next reboot, you no longer have to run the script any more. Eric PS: I wonder when the dosemu.org page will describe 1.4 ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
