I'm trying to get Dosemu to use only my own configuration files. I've have set config_script=/etc/dosemu/simple-dosemu-config in dosemu.users. When I run Dosemu, I still get the following output though: CONF: config variable c_user set CONF: Parsing built-in dosemu.conf file. CONF: config variable version_3_style_used set CONF: Parsing built-in global.conf file. Shouldn't the config_script setting in my dosemu.users prevent Dosemu from using the built-in configuration?
No. The built-in configuration is necessary for initialization and parses the built-in dosemu.conf; without it dosemu is in an inconsistent state. This way we enforce that what is commented out in the default dosemu.conf actually corresponds to the reald default settings (because the built-in one is parsed without the #'s).
But you can completely overwrite the config afterwards in any way you like. "config_script" provides a way to let your own "global.conf" do things on top of the default configuration, perhaps ignoring any real dosemu.conf -- without a "config_script" or -F setting the builtin global.conf will: 1. parse builtin dosemu.conf 2. parse real dosemu.conf 3. parse ~/.dosemurc With -F or "config_script" steps 2 and 3 are up to what you supply. With -n step 2 is skipped for a /etc independent configuration.
Does the builtin dosemu.conf also contain $_hdimage = "drives/*"? The biggest problem I have, is that when I specify several disks, Dosemu always also adds those to it. When I specify two disks for example, they both get c: and d:, but drives/c also gets e:.
If the builtin dosemu.conf indeed does contain drives/*, is there any way to fully override that?
