Hugh, First, I used an entry in /etc/fstab to mount the Windows partition on /win. I set the permissions on /win to everybody. Can't quite remember what the chmod command was. Something like chmod 777 /win. This had to be done by root, of course. Next I put config.sys and autoexec.bat files with different extensions in the root directory of the Windows partition. I had already installed dosemu-1.1.3 for systemwide access. Then in the dosemu directory of my user directory (not root), I put a symbolic link to /win. In the dosemu configuration file I set $_hdimage to the symbolic link as drive C, the freedos directory as drive D, etc. In the autoexec.bat file for dosemu, which I think I called autoexec.ems, I set the path to point to \windows\command, followed by d:=freedos, etrc. The dosemu config.sys, which I called something like config.ems was fairly straightforward, except that i set a large value for the /e or environment parameter, because I have some greedy C compilers in that partition. I can send these files if anyone wants them, and also my configuration file. Let me know if this needs clarification. John On Tue, 25 Jun 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
