It turned out that, for whatever reason, dosemu was using my private-user installation -- from the ready-to-use binary distribution dosemu-1.0.2.1-bin.tgz, installed as per the Quickstart instruction #1 -- rather than my subsequent systemwide installation, from dosemu-1.0.2.tgz, compiled and installed as per Quickstart instructions #2 and #2a. Since I had done the binary installation first, I presumed that it had left a link or configuration file that was interfering with the later systemwide installation. Not knowing what that might be, I simply deleted all the dosemu files from my system, and reinstalled from dosemu-1.0.2.tgz. (I'm on a Red Hat 8.0 distribution, by the way.) The make and install_systemwide (using dosemu-freedos-b8p-bit.tgz) ran to completion ok (although with a large number of warnings about -m486, -malign, and multi-line string literals being deprecated). But now when I run dosemu (or xdosemu) I get the following: ---------- Linux DOS emulator 1.0.2.0 $Date: 2001/06/10 $ Last configured at Sat Jan 4 07:44:54 EST 2003 on linux DPMI-Server Version 0.9 installed FreeDOS kernel version 1.1.28 (Build 2028) [Dec 09 2002 21:55:55] Kernel compatibility 7.10 - WATCOMC - FAT32 support (C) Copyright 1995-2002 Pasquale J.
