Don't use setup-dosemu script for
now as it removes some important
options from compiletime-settings.
The "compiletime-settings" provided
by default would do in most cases
(or edit it manually).

You can use also an msdos directory
as a network drive. For some reasons
I think it is better than the hdimage.
All you need is just to delete the
freedos files and copy the MS-DOS
ones (io.sys, msdos.sys and command.com).
In fact there is probably no need to
even erase the freedos files, as dosemu
recognizes the system files by their names,
and MS-DOS's files have a higher priority
when both DOSes are present.

Try this:
1. in the directory you copied the vga.pcf
in, type "mkfontdir".
2. in xterm type "xset fp rehash" to make
your X server to search for the new fonts.
