'Will not run' is the typical message that will do nothing to get you
help, Tony. Try to be a little more explicit. Did you check the logs?
Did you try to open a terminal window, and type 'dosemu', or 'xdosemu'?
If so, which messages  appear on the screen? Did you edit
the /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf file for your needs? Did you install the
freedos package too (else you will have nothing to run in your dos
session). 

John
