No more hdimage. come back to that later. now, i redirected drives into /var/lib/dosemu/drives all works fine. i do no longer need lredir! but: how can I made the charsets to look like original dos? the "I" chars which are used to build windows look strange. also, ansi grafix are more than ugly now. > Nothing different from what it was. 900k conventional RAM is impossib= le > now and as it used to be because the video RAM starts at 640K (or 736= k > if you don't need graphics).

There HAS been an option to at least assign those 736kb to an application that runs console (non-gfx!) only. so how can I use so much ram?
