Why? try lredir (I think) and map the mounted CD rom from LInux to be a dos disk. :-) It can be done in autoexec.bat I thnk or you can change the dosemu config files to map a linux dir to a drive letter= or even an entire device (I think) > a google search turned up something called fdcdex (presumably freedos > cdrom driver), but that's not installed on my system either. > > i'm close to scrapping freedos, uninstalling the packaged dosemu, compiling > dosemu from source and putting in msdos. > > any advice on getting the cdrom to work?

Well.... I have been able to start and join IPX/SPX games with DosEMU but the loss of data was pretty high and as games progressed from DOSEMU the net games would become less stable. I seem to recall setting up some TCP/IP stuff using a DOS PPP system and some funky things with Linux, but this could possibly just be a dream�I had. It has been a while. (May have used KA9Q or another PPP/IP like thing, but dont have them anymore.) _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
