I have read up a few posting on this error off of Google. I cannot say
why I cannot start dosemu beyond it cannot find my freedos installation.
I am running 1.1.99.1 on a Gentoo 1.4 system. The variable _hmimage is
set to "drives/*". In my .dosemu/drives directory I have:
bash-2.05b$ ls drives/* -l
lrwxr-xr-x 1 storri wheel 32 Jan 10 20:21 drives/c ->
/usr/share/dosemu/
The contents of /usr/share/dosemu are:
bash-2.05b$ ls -l /usr/share/dosemu
total 1068
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 16 12:28 Xfonts

bash-2.05b$ ls -l /usr/share/dosemu/freedos/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 16 12:28 dosemu
In /usr/share/dosemu/freedos/dosemu are all the commands. What do I need
to change in order to get dosemu to start?

Still reports cannot find freedos. i don't know if that applies to you, but i had a similar problem, until i deleted the ~/dosemu and ~/.dosemu dir, and started from the clean /usr/share/dosemu (by simply invoking 'dosemu'). then it just worked 'out of the box'. h2h stefan > > Stephen > -- > Stephen Torri > GPG Key: http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~storri/storri.asc -- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the great mauso is no more. . . . . .--. | . .: .--' |.| .--. . .`. `. |.| ' .; ; . . _`, : |\./| `.__,_;. .`.__.'

Now drives/c points to /home/storir/dosemu/freedos. Then make sure that there exist freedos files in that directory. At least kernel.sys and command.com should be there. If you compile from source then dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz should be in the source directory, unless you can use some other DOS. Bart ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
