Hi all,

Bit of a newbie at dosemu - I'm using a recent version of dosemu, the
package that came in 2 tarballs and included FreeDOS as well.

After following the howtows and tinkering, I was able to boot an old w95
boot disk image - not their recovery disk, merely a bootable dos7 disk
(with Norton Ghost on it as well, something that I have no interest in
running).  I have no particular interest in booting this version of dos,
but that is all that has worked so far.  i have no real dos partition on
my machine, 100% linux.  I just happened to have this floppy disk image
around...

Anyway, the instructions say to execute, say, xdosemu - it starts to
load and then exists.  I have also mounted the disk image and copied
files out into a dir I named, "bootdir" - same result, it looks like it
begins and opens an xwindow for a split second, then closes with no
message, boot log full of errors.  These are the same files in the boot
image - this leads me to believe that I have an obvious error. 

If it's something deeper, I can of course include all the info, specific
version, boot.log, and so forth.

I changed nothing in the config except of course the virtualfloppy
setting in the boot image case, and hdimage setting in the other 2
cases, freedos and bootdir.

Thanks,
