After many many hours of fighting with the installer to install in dosemu...
then realized that it was dosemu1 not 2,
I finally managed to have FreeDOS mostly running under Dosemu2.
But when I ran a program using cwsdpmi, it complains I should run cwsdpmi.
And then, cwsdpmi complains it cannot launch because the system is already in
protected mode (pretty sure it is in VM86 mode).
@Eric, do you do something to go around this?
Might be linked that my default of dosemu2 seems broken:
[paul@fedora ~]$ ls -lh /usr/share/dosemu/
total 8,0K
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4,0K 12 jun 17:48 commands
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 12 jun 07:47 'commands;60c52f3b' ->
dosemu2-cmds-0.3
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4,0K 12 jun 18:03 Xfonts
[paul@fedora ~]$
the link to dosemu2-cmds-0.3 is in red (broken)... maybe there is a package I
did not installed.
I am now under Fedora34, where I downloaded daily build packages from COPR:
[paul@fedora ~]$ ls Téléchargements/*.rpm
Téléchargements/comcom32-0.0.git.164.91f699a-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm
Téléchargements/fdpp-0.0.git.1203.671a05b-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm
Téléchargements/dosemu2-0.0.git.2529.607d5b88-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm
[paul@fedora ~]$
that I installed with sudo dnf install *.rpm (well, actually have given the 3
full files, but should be equivalent).
Now, anyway, I use a FreeDOS installation of FreeDOS with games, that I have
put in a directory in my Linux home directory.
I installed it in VirtualBox, then used
http://underpop.online.fr/v/virtualbox/vboxmanage-clonehd-virtualbox.html.gz to
change it
to a raw file disk image. I then used parted on that file, to print the start
of the DOS partition, then used a mount -loop
with the given offset to mound the "vfat" partition in the raw disk image. I
finally copy the files in other directory, because dosemu1
was not able to deal with mounted partitions... unsure but I guess it is not a
problem with dosemu2.
Anyway, mostly after that, it was just to:
cp /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf ~/.dosemurc
nano .dosemurc... and add:
$_hdimage = "/home/paul/mydos /home/paul/cdos"
where mydos is the directory coming from my raw disk image from VirtualBox, and
cdos is FD13Live.iso content.
