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?
