Cool! Thanks! I thouht already my style was too offensive for the list:-) Sorry.

Perhaps a wrong kernel or some other mismatch), now connecting the to serial ports with a crossover I can run 2 minicoms and type in both windows - that works fine, but if I run one minicom and configure dosemu to use the other port and do smth like echo bla > COM1 I see nothing in the minicom... Ok, if baudrate stuff was wrong, I would at least see some rubbish, but I see nothing. What else am I doing wrong and how do I actually configure UART parameters under DOS(EMU)? > global installs (which is what i just told you to do) > are now discouraged ...and local installs are not documented:-)) > (but i like them still for various > reasons), you can get a sort-of-global install using > install_systemwide (but i hate this). > > > So, how do I install the compiled dosemu into an > unpacked binary FreeDOS? > as for freedos, unpack it somewhere in /var/lib/dosemu > and tweak /etc/dosemu.conf (variable $_hdimage). Wait a minute - isn't FreeDOS __necessary__ for running dosemu? Looks like it is (dosemu requested /var/lib/freedos, and only worked, when I put it there:-)) > > And - as a long shot - are their any constraints for > running DOS-programs, > > using serial ports? > > > serial support is good. > run dosemu as root for everything and you will be > fine. Yeah, I was root... Thanks a million again and waiting for further instructions Guennadi --------------------------------- Guennadi Liakhovetski, Ph.D. DSA Daten- und Systemtechnik GmbH Pascalstr. 28 D-52076 Aachen Germany - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
