(1) I'm almost there. Your rpm 1.2.2-1 did install, and it did go=20 through initial steps, got to a black screen, but no prompt and the CPU= =20 is system loaded 100%. I had to kill xterm to stop it. But this may be=20 due to lingering dosemu installations from my compiled 1.4 version, so=20 I'll do some cleanup later. (2) Do I understand correctly that you say compiled 1.4 on i386 (or for= =20 that matter i586, i.e. any 32 bit PC processors) does not work? It did=20 not work for me, as indicated in the original posting: compile OK, but=20 dosemu command starts nothing. At least I could stop it with Ctr-C. One step at the time...
