Just moved from RedHat to Debian (Libranet 2.8.1), and installed the binaries with a local install. I forget how to get out of this vga error scenario (I have readlink on my system, by the way):
You do not have the DOSEMU vga font installed and are running remote X. You need to install the vga font on your _local_ Xserver. Look at the readme for details. For now we start with an fixed font, which does not display all national characters correctly. ... be warned ERROR: Unable to open console to evaluate the keyboard map. Please specify your keyboard map explicitly via the $_layout option ERROR: X: Unable to open font "vga"ERROR: , trying "vga"...
