I´ve read all the docs and they are confusing. What is the
straightforward way to make a 500mb disk image file that I can use as
the bootable c: drive?

The reason I ask is because I am running a DOS Clipper program. When
more than one user log in I get DOS Error 5. This seems to be a file
locking issue. It seems that dosemu cannot correctly translate a DOS
lock on the partial file to the Linux filesystem. I believe that
running from a disk image, instead of a folder, might correct the
problem. If not then its off to installing MS-DOS 6.22 and getting
network support to work... just like the program was originally
intended to run....
