Quietening DOSEMU and FreeDOS

["Brian Hancock" <brian.hancock@brileigh.com>]

Hi everyone

I am wanting to quieten DOSEMU and FreeDOS so that they are totally quiet, 
ie no not produce any output to STDOUT other than from the DOS program I 
wish to execute

An example in the documentation says that the command:
        dosemu -dumb dir
should produce a DOS directory list without any other content however even 
when stripping the Config.sys and autoexec.bat files almost bare I still get 
output like
---------------------------------------------------------------
Note that DOS needs 25 lines. You might want to enlarge your window before 
continuing. Now type ENTER to start DOSEMU or C to cancel Linux DOS emulator
