Hi Andreas,
Either run dosemu as root, or use sudo to run dosemu with superuser
privilages.
What exactly is the error that you're getting when you run as root ? It's
likely that you haven't specified a proper hdimage in dosemu.conf.
If you want to run as a user using sudo, do this:
* Login as root
* Give the command visudo
* Now you'll be into the vi editor.
* Add the following line:
myuser ALL=/usr/bin/dos
* Now exit ie :wq
Change myuser to the username you want to login as and change /usr/bin/dos
to the correct path of dos.
Now login as myuser & type 'sudo dos'. It should work.
