well, a compresed tar file will extract itself relative to your current path, so you can't really have it install to /usr/local by default, it's not usually a problem anyways. There is the RPM that might be preferrable for you, dosemu is much easier than it used to be. - 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
