Debugging output can be enabled with
-D option (consult `man dos`), and with
-o option you have to specify the file to
which the logging being written.

Also try to start the game under console
suid-root dosemu since it works more
reliably this way than under X.

Strange dosemu behavior.

[drevil]

I've tried one of the stable releases of dosemu, and the latest developer
release available from the dosemu.org page and I'm having the same problem. The
problem is this:

running decsent2's setup program to install it

it starts up, I get the rational dos/4gw banner
it plays the test movie says I passed (it runs really great too!)
then it asks me for which install option I want, crazy, large, etc.
when I select one of the install options the xdosemu window that was
opened up spontaneously closes with no error or failure log that I can see.

Any ideas?

This kind of behavior usually means that the program has crashed by 
trying to write outside of the memory it has been alotted, performing an 
illegal operation, etc. I've seen it quite often.

Is there any way I can get some debug output? This obviously works a-ok on a
"real" dos system. Since it's a bug, i'd like to fix it. dosemu is the one
spontaneously closing though, there's no segfault in the console where I started
it, so I assume dosemu is just dying. Any devel or other person that can tell
me how I can debug this?
