dosemu is in contrib because it depends on a free DOS implementation which we don't have yet in debian. There's FreeDOS (GPLed) but there are technical problems building the package, particularly about GCC. Just filed a FreeDOS RFP explaining the details, see http://bugs.debian.org/144042 . And feel free to take the RFP BTW I'm working on to port dosemu, don't touch it! :) -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
