QuickStart DOSEMU and Freedos

QuickStart DOSEMU and Freedos

[Claude FILIPPINI]

Hello, 

I am disapointed; I have downloaded "dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz" and 
"dosemu-1.0.2.1-bin.tgz" like is recommanded in QuickStart and 
README.bindist.

I have followed the proceeding of README.bindist. 
When I key: ./dosemu, the following is displayed:
	DOSEMU will run on this terminal.
	..................................
	.................................
	Now ENTER to start DOSEMU or <Ctrl>C to cancel

When I key ENTER, I have no prompt DOS, I have the Linux teminal prompt.

I have displayed boot.log: "Running unpriviledged in low feature mode".
I do not understand this sentence. 

I run with Linux kernel: 2.4.19 with Mandrake distribution 9.0.

Thanks a lot in advance if you can help me.
I am a poor new user of Linux !
 
Best regards,

Claude Filippini

DOSemu doesn't find dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz or you haven't write access to the 
dosemu directory. I think in dosemu-1.0.2.1 you need root rights. Make 
yourself root and copy dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz to /var/lib/dosemu (I hope that 
is the right directory for this version). Otherwise look for a log file 
called boot.log which will show the error messages. In the newer versions you 
will find this file in $HOME/.dosemu/, I don't know where you find it in 
dosemu-1.0.2.1.

Hope that helps
