Re: dosemu-1.1.0 help

[Serge Naggar <naggar@sprintmail.com>]

Hi Bart,
with your reply I decided to try again but with the same results - so I
went back to 1.1.5 and ... was welcomed by 1.1.9 - go figure. I looks as
if the two are somewhat intertwined with 1.1.9 wanting to insert itself
into /root from /home/ areas.

I had 0 /etc/dosemu.users files and 1 /etc/dosemu.conf file.
I had rename the dosemu-1.1.5 directories/files as old-dosemu...

The 1.1.9 errors were:
ERROR: x: unable to open font vga Error: trying "vga"
  "    x:   "         "       vga   "      "    "9x15"

You do not have dosemu vga font installed & are running remote x. You
need to install the vga font on your local server. Look @the readme for
details. For now we start with a fixed font which does not display all
................... be warned.

I had already deleted the 1.1.9 so could not run xdosemu -D+dD -o log.
I'll try to reinstall soon.

What do you make of 1.1.9 intruding on the 1.1.5 install?
I guess I didn't delete all its references and it is there?
