Hi, I tried to use mkfatimage16 to create a 40 MB image for dosemu. The command mkfatimage16 -k 40000 -f ../hdimage.test * ran without errors but the image is un-readable by mtools, unmountable by Linux, etc. When I tried to use the -t flag instead of -k mkfatimage16 -t 1024 -f ../hdimage.test * it worked but the image is too small for my purpose - only about 30 MB, and 1024 tracks turned out to be the maximum allowed. Does that mean that there is no way to make a bigger image with mkfatimage16? Is there anything else?

Hello. I've installed RedHat Linux 5.2 with Kernel 2.2.3 this weekend. During this installation, I entered the following wrong statement in lilo.conf: boot=/dev/hda1 That destroyed something on my 1st drive which has win98 on it.

Hello all on this list! I'm new to this list and Dosemu. My name is Paolo Schiattarella, I'm from Italy and I work in a pharmaceutical distribuition company as System Administration Assistant on Unix machines. In these day I'm working on a project to have working a dos program, developer by our programmers, under linux with dosemu. With my great satisfaction and congratulations to all dosemu developer, that program works really fine! But I have a problem, because our need is to have it working on serial ascii terminals connected to the linux box. Well when I try to execute dosemu (based on a MS-dos 6.22 installation) on a terminal connected to the cua0, I have the dos prompt, but DIR and other commands don't work good and often dosemu crashes with this error in debug mode: "slang_keyb_close():failed to restore keyboard termios settings!" This do not happen if I set "_keybint(off)" in dosemu.conf, but so I have no one key working into my program. I found no or few documentation on using dosemu on a ascii tty. So my questions are: Does anyone have tried to use dosemu on a ascii terminal connected to a serial port? My program works really fine on the console but what to do to have it running correctly (terminal emulation and keyboard) on a terminal? Why my dosemu session crashes when I strike keys rapidly on the terminal? Is there a way to configure dosemu.conf to consider running dosemu on a ascii terminal? Is it possible to have different configurations for terminal,X and console? Sorry if this E-mail is so long!! Please help it's very important and urgent! I'll be very glad if someone can help me.

The center button seems to dump whatever is in the cut&paste buffer into DOS's keyboard input. This creates a byte-explosion because the DOS program isn't expecting all these characters (and either was I). I have programs that use the center button so whatever is happening disables them. I have gone thru every bit of documentation I can find and search the user net for an answer but so far no luck. I have tried to disable dosemu's internal mouse driver but nothing I do changes anything (did this by setting the mouse items in dosemu.conf to ""). Tried several DOS (microsoft and logitech) mouse drivers but they always report that another driver already exists in memory and bail. Other than the center button out of control the mouse generally works OK in dosemu. This problem occures both in 'X' and the console. The one difference is that when I tried to disable the mouse, it did in console mode but I still couldn't load any DOS mouse drivers. I am running the following versions: Red Hat 5.2 Kernel 2.0.36 dosemu 0.98.5-1 KDE 1.1-3 MS-DOS 6.20 Thanks in advance for any help you may send my way.

If only I knew! Does it make a difference whether you load (or not load) the parport module (or disable parport support in the kernel) before using dosemu? Some EPP/ECP are programmable, and I once had the problem that the parport detection code disabled EPP mode. There are also some ECP control registers located at base + 0x400, i.e. 0x778 0x779 0x77a Maybe the program tries to use them?

(I'll probably know by the time I get a reply anyway). If it is not, can someone pass it on to me? Also. For 0.66.7 there was a virtual fossil patch for people who run BBS's. Is there one out there for the newer versions of DOSemu? It would be great if we could have DOSemu emulate modem responses on certain com ports to allow the proper use of doors etc, allowing us to go telnetable in most situations.

I also tried $_console = (0), $_graphics = (0), and $videoportaccess = (0) in varying combinations. Most recently I console = 0, graphics = 1, videoportaccess = 0; after changing VTs a few times, the machine locked up solid! It never does that otherwise.

With 'setup' I mean glibc/kernel headers issues.

It doesn't seem a problem with header files, because in the compilation there's no problem, i.e. not even a warning. The problem only happens when i do a insmod dosnet.o or modprobe dosnet.o. Can be a problem of modutils? In this box I have modutils 2.1.86-9 (redhat 5.2 default version). In the other machne where it worked, I've updates to modutils 2.1.121 (not sure, can't check now), because of kernel 2.2.x, so I suspect that this may have something to do with this. And I've seen that I'm not the only one thos find this behavior in dosnet.o. > what, that its not normal if printk doesn't resolve? ;-) > I know, but why doesn't this happen in other modules?

See the USERADD and USERMOD commands. I don't know what you are ultimately trying to accomplish, but we start up dosemu at boot time with particular program running like this: screen -T xterm -c /usr/magic/geryon/dos.screen and dos.screen is a shell script which looks like this: screen /usr/bin/dos detach We can then attach to this dos session any time from anywhere. ...the dos startup has an autoexec.bat that starts up a program that needs to run forever, and I can look at it from home. - -- Steven. ------------------------------ End of linux-msdos-digest V1 #137 ********************************* To subscribe to linux-msdos-digest, send the command:
