You should upgrade to the Unstable package. The problem seems to be the "comcom" command shell, which is outdated and deprecated. Sadly, the Ubuntu team chose to use it. :(
The solution is to replace the "comcom" command shell with the new FreeDOS command shell, available here: http://freedos.sourceforge.net/freecom/packages/082pl3/xmsswap.zip Just rename the "command.com" that comes with the zip file as /usr/lib/dosemu/commands/comcom.com . Relevant bug reports in upstream Debian. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=327153 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=212126;archive=yes Isn't the Ubuntu dev team supposed to follow the Debian bugtrack closely? This bug was resolved 19.Oct.2005 and closed 19.Feb.2006. Why didn't anyone notice, almost NINE MONTHS later?? -- dosemu-freedos does not work out of the box. https://launchpad.net/bugs/48607 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
