I then made a copy of the dosemu/bin directory, placing the copy in usr/local/share/dosemu, which is where my msdos directory is. Otherwise I found the script couldn't find ../dosemu.bin. Okay, now I get this when I run ./xdosemu: OR: Unable to allocate memory pool ERROR: lowmem_alloc failed for 10240 ERROR: Unable to allocate memory pool ERROR: lowmem_alloc failed for 10240 ERROR: Unable to allocate memory pool ERROR: lowmem_alloc failed for 10240 ERROR: Unable to allocate memory pool ERROR: lowmem_alloc failed for 10240 ERROR: Unable to allocate memory pool ERROR: lowmem_alloc failed for 10240 ERROR: Unable to allocate memory pool ERROR: lowmem_alloc failed for 10240 ERROR: Unable to allocate memory pool ERROR: lowmem_alloc failed for 10240 ERROR: Unable to allocate memory pool Then xdosemu finally loads, with this as the final line before the C prompt: "Welcome to dosemu !"
