I solved the problem last night. I didn't realize that there are two different dosemu-freedos*.tgz packages at dosemu.org. I had downloaded the first one I came across and that was the problem. It did not include kernel.sys or command.com and in fact, it looked like source for building on Windows platforms, not Linux. It was on the same page as the download like for dosemu-1.2.2. When I went to the bottom of the page I found a second package and it was complete and it worked great. Thanks again, Rick Knight
