Ough, I seem to have had a totally wrong understanding of what dosemu was... Ok, I've found thr right doc to read, that explains it (doc/dosemu-HOWTO.txt - not a self-evident name for a primary explanatory document:-)) > > it is (dosemu requested /var/lib/freedos, and only worked, > Check the $_hdimage option of dosemu.conf. Well, what I still don't quite understand, is what are the exact steps after compilation - to copy all the required stuff in a dosemu root-dir, where you'll later unpack FreeDOS or whatever... The reply, that got me going did help a lot - but still, I had to guess a few things... And I am not sure if all my guesses were right.
