At present I can only run it from root (although logged on as an user). I have to open Konsole, then su and then enter my admnistrator password. If I try to run xdosemu from user I get the following error message: "bash: xdosemu: command not found". One cosequence of running in root is that files created within programs run under Dosemu are read only when opened in programs under Linux/Windows. Is this a sympton of running Xdosemu under root? They way I installed Dosemu 1.3.2 is at the end of this email in case there is anything wrong with my installation method. Any help would be much appreciated. Victor Warner Installation method (after removing previous instances of Dosemu, and having an folder with MSDOS installed): 1 At console, cd /home/victor/various. Do not need to be at root. 2 tar zfvx dosemu-1.3.2.tgz 3 cd dosemu-1.3.2 4 ./configure 5 make 6 Change to root, e.g. su then enter password for root 7 make install 8 then cd /home/victor/dos 9 ln -s /usr/local/dosemu/freedos/dosemu dosemu or ln -s /usr/local/share/dosemu/freedos/dosemu dosemu 10. Open Konsole, su, then xdosemu
