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.

Subject: lredir for DOSEMU

I am working with a technician to get DOSEMU running on a Red Hat 7.1
linux box.  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:?

TIA
