Package: dosemu
Version: 1.4.0-2rb
Severity: wishlist
Under 1.2 and the separately packaged freedos, /etc/freedos held key
configuration files (autoexec.bat and config.sys) and the default
drives had links to them. It would be nice to have this facility in
the current package.
There's some chance 1.2 didn't have that, but I've manually made the
change. It's still a nice feature :)
The currently shipping version has
/usr/lib/dosemu/drive_z/{autoexec.bat,config.sys} has regular files.
To change this one must either alter those files (possibly by making
them symlinks), thereby violating the FHS, or replicate them in one's
own directory. I did the latter, using a symlink farm.
I notice the autoexec.bat shipped differs significantly from the old
one. It might be worth putting something about that, and the whole
/etc/freedos directory (a recommendation to delete it?) in the release
notes.
The current setup in which drives c and d are the same drive,
config.sys references the d: drive, and autoexec.bat then swaps in
another d: drive also seems peculiar. Maybe I just haven't thought
about it long enough to divine the reason.
