err.. read some dosemu docs.. particularly the QuickStart (there is
one, from memory)
you have to tell dosemu what drives/directories to map to dos
drives. and you'll need to add your user to the list of "privileged
users" if you want to use sound/graphics on console/things that need
root. iirc, the newer versions (ie: less than 3 years old ;) have a
nice tk program to configure it all in.
i've played master of magic, tombraider, syndicate, dungeon keeper,
xcom (1..3) at length under dosemu. all work quite well, tho turning
the sound blaster emulation on makes it a little unstable, so i
usually play without sound (just mp3's in the background ;)
