Okay, I made a 1G file, built an ext3 filesystem on it and mounted it as a loop device. Then I copied the whole C drive directory onto the loop fs and changed the symlink (~/.dosemu/drives/c) to point to it. Word still thinks the disk is full. :-( > (no, don't use mkfatimage16 instead of the > loop-mount - mkfatimage16's image access will > most likely solve your problems, but as a test > it would be completely useless). This probably deserves an RTFM, but... How dow I use mkfatimage16 to (most likely) solve my problems? Do I build the FAT image and then mount it as a loop device or is there something I do to tell DOSEMU to mount it itself?
