Thank you all for your help and inspiration. There was nothing wrong with dosemu, the problem was my corrupted FC3 system, and I can blame only myself for corrupting it. Learning curve... I started to review my system which I corrupted by removing some rpm-s and compiling updated software in the past few years. Now I know a little more and am more careful how to do things. Repairing and cleaning my fc3 installation is a slow and painstaking process. This is why I did not give an update recently. Franta's message today made me try dosemu again, and this time it worked. Apparently the partial repair fixed it. I don't know what and how, but the main thing is that it works. Originally I planned to try dosemu after I finished my system repair.

When I boot and xfs service starts I get an error message stating that "error scanning". But otherwise my system works, and apparently this is not related to dosemu. Hopefully, as I clean up my system this is going to be resolved as well. > 3) Did You tried run dosemu in console and/or in Xterm in terminal > mode ('dosemu -t')? What is result? It works both from console (Ctr-Alt-f1) or from xterm
