I downloaded the FreeDos images and got them working; cool!
  ftp://ftp.plex86.org/guestOS/1.44_FreeDOS.mini
  ftp://ftp.plex86.org/guestOS/10M.FreeDOS.gz

Now I've just taken my first stab at booting linux under plex86, and
I've encountered some frustration trying to figure out where the disk
images are supposed to go.

That is to say, I tried getting the example conf/linux to boot
slackware's net.i boot disk and color.gz root disk.
  ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-7.1/bootdsks.144/net.i
  ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-7.1/rootdsks/color.gz

I copied the kernel from inside net.i to linux.img, copied color.gz to
initrd.img and 1.44a, and ran './plex86 -f ../conf/linux'.  It
started, popped up a blank window, and quit with the error 
  Running VM
  ::plex86 panic: 
  ::monPageFault: MapLinPPageOOB:

  Fatal monitor error caused Panic
...
  0010.00100012  F3A5                     rep movsl %ds:(%esi), %es:(%edi)

I think I just need a conf file and one or two disk images that are
known to work.  (Trial and error works much better when you have
*something* that works; breaking is easier than fixing.)
