Hello, try mounting the dos drive. If you recently installed Linux, it might have asked you if you want to mount it at boot time automatically. You can do a "cat /etc/fstab" to see if there are any MSDOS, FAT16 or VFAT filesystems being listed. (filesystem is UNIX speak for partition) Mine says: /dev/sda4 /dos vfat exec,dev,suid,rw,user,owner 0 0 If you do see that, good, skip this step. Otherwise, figure out where you want to mount it. I recommend '/dos'. Make the folder, as root do "mkdir /dos". You then need to figure out which device to mount. Type the command "fdisk -l" to list all of your partitions. Find the line that has your partition name listed. Write down the device name, for example, '/dev/hda1'. Type "mount /dev/hda1", replacing /dev/hda1 with the correct device. If your drive was listed in the /etc/fstab file (which would be nice) you can simply do "mount /dos" where /dos is the mount point for your disk. Now, start dos. Now use lredir to map '/dos' or whatever to your desired drive letter.

The PC is a pentium with 128mb, and a 40 gb HD. We have the latest DOSEMU kernal. The system works, and DOSEMU appears to work, but we cannot access/run any programs on the C: MSDOS drive. It is not cldear that this can be done without compiling one's own kernal, which is far, far beyond me or this tech who is trying to help. I am not clear how to use DOSEMU if I cannot access my applications to run them. I thought lredir was for doing this, but we cannot figure out how. I am new to linux, and understand only some very basic things. I mostly use DOS. Is there any way to access the applications on c:?
