* check whether you can write to the partition (in Linux, using for
instance, cp) as the same user as the one that runs dosemu
* check $_bootdir in your dosemu.conf if it has ":ro". If that's the case
then remove that.
* if all else fails then type in dosemu
lredir c: linux\fs/dosc
or, say,
lredir d: linux\fs/dosc
to manually (re-)map a drive to your linux directory /dosc or wherever
else your vfat mount point is.
