Also (follow up from my previous reply), to successfully use chown on files owned by root, you will need root access or equivalence (see your system administrator, if that's not yourself)

A technician set it up on my machine for me, but I cannot get it to run. Here is what I get: DOSEMU will run on _this_ terminal. To exit you need to execute 'exitemu' from within DOS, because <Ctrl>-C and 'exit' won't work! Hint: if you want $HOME as DOS drive D:, use '-home' option Now type ENTER to start DOSEMU or <Ctrl>C to cancel\n ENTER permission denied I am running RHL 7.1 on a pentium III. I am running in text mode only. I did a chmod 777 *.* on the dosemu directory, and a chown gary.users on that same directory. I get: total 44 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jan 4 14:36 . drwxr-x--- 12 root root 4096 Jan 4 14:33 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 18 17:18 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 18 17:21 conf -rwxrwxrwx 1 500 gopher 10214 Jun 2 2001 dosemu -rwxrwxrwx 1 gary users 367 Jun 10 2001 FDchange.log drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Sep 18 17:18 freedos -rwxrwxrwx 1 gary users 2997 Jun 10 2001 README.bindist lrwxrwxrwx 1 500 gopher 6 Sep 18 17:18 xdosemu -> dosemu drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 18 17:18 Xfonts I am *very* new to linux, so I do not understand why gopher appears here. Also, I do not know why I cannot seem to change it, or how dosemu can be run if gopher appears as the group.
