Subject: cleaning up the "drives" mess
Date: Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:21:42 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47A781E6.6010400@americansentry.net> (raw)
One of the reasons I stuck to DOS after windows 3.1 appeared, was the
simplicity, which translated to long up time and short down time, as at
my office, I am responsible for keeping it running.
Now along comes dosemu in linux. I would like to delete all references
to "drives" including directories, links, etc., and only set them with
lredir in the autoexec.bat file.
I would also like to get rid of the complicated directory structure,
including the hidden directory,
so I have a directory called dosemu (or whatever), and I put all of the
commands, doc, config, etc. in it.
Any files that are linux files (before dosemu is running) can exist in
Linux directories that I set up.
One other item. For several years now, the dos refers to a
/etc/dosemu.users file. I have never seen this. If the files layout
were simpler, creating and maintaining doc for it would also be simpler.
Thoughts?
