hi stian,

one comment -- you're walking people through installing bleeding edge
dosemu, but there's a problem with the latest patchset 1.1.3 where the
compiling of a bison file fails.

the fix (in patch form) is here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.msdos.general/847

this link also mentions that dosemu users may want to use 2.4.19 or
2.4.20-pre since these kernels contain dosemu related patches.  this
email was written before 2.4.20 came out, so i'm assuming that 2.4.20
also contains the dosemu related patches.

the patch i mentioned is summarized here: in bisonpp.pl, change the
line:

$rule =~ s/[ \t]*;\s*$//s;# remove trailing ';'

to this:

$rule =~ s/[ \t]*;\s*\n//s;# remove trailing ';'

i'm only mentioning this because patch sets come out so infrequently
with dosemu that some of your readers may need to know this for a little
while.
