iO I am now building this back from scratch.
ie I use the default dosemu.conf with a physical 64 MB drive
for c: dos to boot.
No more hdimage.
come back to that later.

now, i redirected drives into /var/lib/dosemu/drives
all works fine. i do no longer need lredir!

but: how can I made the charsets to look like original dos?
the "I" chars which are used to build windows look strange.
also, ansi grafix are more than ugly now.

There HAS been an option to at least assign those 736kb to an
application that runs console (non-gfx!) only.
so how can I use so much ram?

wouldnt that speed up the system again?
imagine: i got FIVE dosemu tasks.
