This week I loaded Kubuntu 8.04.1 on a machine for my wife. It loaded dosemu the first time with the stock config and autoexec from apt-get intall dosemu but am having some problems. Both machines are running dosemu 1.4.0+svn.1828-1. On the first machine that loads without issues, I took the stock freedos config.sys and autoexec.bat in the ~/.dosemu/drive_c directory and added some extra lines that run 4dos and nansi.sys in config.sys and sets the path to my liking in autoexec.bat. I also have some soft links to directories in the drive_c directory. In my wife's machine the behavior of dosemu seems to have changed. It will not recognize the config.sys and autoexec.bat in drive_c but only looks at the config.lnk -> /etc/dosemu/freedos/config.sys and similiarly for autoexec. Also the soft links in drive_c now do not show up. I've attached my autoexec.bat and config.sys if the list will accept these. Questions: 1: Has the behavior of dosemu really changed to only recognize the config.sys and autoexec.bat in /etc/dosemu/freedos? 2: How can I get dosemu to load my soft linked directories which should appear in c:? 3. How to loadhigh certain programs like 4dos.com? This dosemu doesn't seem to like devicehigh=. Most importantly I'd like to not load command.com but instead load 4dos which is so much more versatile Thanks for any help you can give me. My wife used Windows 98 but I am changing her to Linux. She uses some old dos programs like supercalc (spreadsheet) and Q&A (edit and data base program) and probably won't accept Linux unless she can use her ancient programs. She likes the new fast machine though Larry Alkoff --------------050705030209030100050403 Content-Type: application/x-msdos-program; name="autoexec.bat" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="autoexec.bat" QGVjaG8gb2ZmDQpyZW0gYXV0b2V4ZWMuYmF0IGZvciBET1NFTVUgKyBGcmVlRE9TDQpwYXRo IHo6XGJpbjt6OlxnbnU7ejpcZG9zZW11DQpzZXQgSEVMUFBBVEg9ejpcaGVscA0Kc2V0IFRF TVA9YzpcdG1wDQpibGFzdGVyDQpwcm9tcHQgJFAkRw0KdW5peCAtcyBET1NEUklWRV9EDQpp ZiAiJURPU0RSSVZFX0QlIiA9PSAiIiBnb3RvIG5vZHJpdmVkDQpscmVkaXIgZGVsIGQ6ID4g bnVsDQpscmVkaXIgZDogbGludXhcZnMlRE9TRFJJVkVfRCUNCjpub2RyaXZlZA0KcmVtIHVu Y29tbWVudCB0byBsb2FkIGFub3RoZXIgYml0bWFwIGZvbnQNCnJlbSBsb2FkaGkgZGlzcGxh eSBjb249KHZnYSw0MzcsMikNCnJlbSBtb2RlIGNvbiBjb2RlcGFnZSBwcmVwYXJlPSgoODUw KSB6OlxjcGlcZWdhLmNweCkNCnJlbSBtb2RlIGNvbiBjb2RlcGFnZSBzZWxlY3QgODUwDQpy ZW0gY2hjcCA4NTANCmxyZWRpciBlOiBsaW51eFxmcy9tZWRpYS9jZHJvbSBjDQp1bml4IC1z IERPU0VNVV9WRVJTSU9ODQplY2hvICJXZWxjb21lIHRvIGRvc2VtdSAlRE9TRU1VX1ZFUlNJ T04lISINCnVuaXggLWUNCg0KDQpyZW0gbGJhOiBhZGRlZCB0aGlzIHRvIGFib3ZlIGF1dG9l eGVjLmJhdC5saW5rOg0KcmVtIC0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0t LS0tLS0tLS0tLQ0KcmVtIG9yaWcgcGF0aCBvdXQ6IHBhdGggYzpcYmluO2M6XGdudTtjOlxk b3NlbXUJCWl0IGhhcyBiZWVuIGNoYW5nZWQsIHNlZSBhYm92ZQ0KDQpwYXRoICVwYXRoO2M6 XGJpbjtjOlxnbnU7YzpcZG9zZW11O2M6XGJpblwxYmF0O2M6XGJpblwxYmluO2M6XGJpblwx Y29tO2M6XGJpblw0ZG9zO2M6XGJpblw1Y29tDQoNCnNldCBET1NEPWM6DQoNCnJlbSBwcm9t cHQgYCVAZXhlY1tAc2V0Y29sb3JdICRQJEdgDQpwcm9tcHQgJFAkRw0KDQpyZW0gQ09MT1JE SVIgd2lsbCBzdXBlcmNlZGUgNGRvcy80ZG9zLmluaS9Db2xvckRpciBzZXR0aW5nIGZvciB0 ZXN0aW5nOg0KcmVtIHNldCBDT0xPUkRJUj1kaXJzOmJyaSBibHUgb24gd2hpOyBjb20gZXhl IGJhdCBidG0gc3lzOmJyaSBncmU7IHppcCBhciogbHpoIHJwbTpicmkgcmVkOyBqcCogZ2lm IGJtcCB0aWYqOmJyaSBtYWc7IGJhazpicmkgYmx1O2RvYyBuZm8gbGJhIGhvdyB3aG86YnJp IHllbDsgZGxsOmJyaSBtYWc7c3lzdGVtIGhpZGRlbiByZG9ubHk6d2hpIG9uIG1hZztpbmkg Y2ZnIGNuZiBkZXM6YmxhIG9uIGN5YTtodG0gaHRtbDpicmkgbWFnIG9uIHllbDsNCg0KcmVt IG1qb2cNCg0KcmVtIHNldCBkb3NlbXVfdmVyc2lvbj0xDQpyZW0gc2V0IEJMQVNURVI9QTIy MCBJNSBEMSBINSBUNg0KDQoNCnJlbSB1bmNvbW1lbnQgdGhlIGZvbGxvd2luZyB0byBsb2Fk IGNkcm9tIHN1cHBvcnQNCnJlbSBzaHN1Y2R4IC9kOm1zY2QwMDAxDQoNCnJlbSBlbmQgbGJh DQpyZW0gLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLQ0K --------------050705030209030100050403 Content-Type: text/plain; name="config.sys" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="config.sys" rem config.sys for DOSEMU + FreeDOS rem note that the initial "D:" is set to "Z:" at the end SWITCHES=/F DOS=UMB,HIGH dosdata=umb lastdrive=Z files=40 stacks=0 buffers=10 device=d:\dosemu\ems.sys devicehigh=d:\dosemu\cdrom.sys install=d:\dosemu\lredir.com z: linux\fs\${DOSEMU_LIB_DIR}/drive_z ro shellhigh=z:\command.com /e:1024 /p rem lba: config.sys for DOSEMU + FreeDOS rem note that the initial "D:" is set to "Z:" at the end SWITCHES=/F DOS=UMB,HIGH dosdata=umb lastdrive=Z files=40 stacks=0 buffers=10 device=d:\dosemu\ems.sys devicehigh=d:\dosemu\cdrom.sys install=d:\dosemu\lredir.com z: linux\fs\${DOSEMU_LIB_DIR}/drive_z ro rem by lba: shellhigh=z:\command.com /e:1024 /p rem lba: added this to config.sys.link above rem --------------------------------------------- rem uncomment for cdrom support (also autoexec.bat:shsucdx) rem devicehigh=c:\dosemu\cdrom.sys rem !!!shellhigh=c:\bin\4dos\4dos.com /e:1024 /p rem device=c:\bin\nansi.sys rem devicehigh=c:\bin\ansi.sys rem new devicehigh c:\bin\nansip.sys rem end lba rem --------------------------------------------- --------------050705030209030100050403--
