(no subject)Help installing 1.2.2

[Richard W. Knight]

I'm trying to install dosemu-1.2.2, but I'm having trouble.

"Make install" is not installing or creating the symlink for kernel.sys 
or command.com. I'm doing a standard install. I have the latest 
dosemu-freedos-b9r5-sources.tgz in the source directory as 
dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz. I've removed all traces of my previous dosemu 
(1.2.0), the build seems to be going OK but when I run dosemu or xdosemu 
I get an error message stating that no operating system was found. I've 
looked for kernel.sys and command.com but I cannot find them anywhere on 
my system.

Can someone please tell me what I've missed?

Thanks,
Rick Knight

Copy the file dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz from the source directory 
to /usr/local/share/dosemu. Kill the directories ~/.dosemu and ~/dosemu in 
your home directory and try again. Dosemu and Xdosemu will now install 
freedos with kernel.sys etc. in ~/dosemu/freedos/.

Claudia,

Thanks for the reply. 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
