Has this possibility gone in 1.0.2? works if you "cp dosemu.bin /usr/bin/dos" and run /usr/bin/dos. running dosemu.bin directly like this means that the old /var/lib/dosemu is used. if you don't want this hack and want to run dosemu the "1.0.2 way", just put symlinks in your home folder (to your drives) and run dosemu -home, I think. alternatively to all of these ways of accessing your drives, use lredir . this is the best way of doing imo.
