dosemu-1.1.0 help

Installed the new 1.1.9 but it seems to not see the operating system in both cases and the vga fonts when started with xdosemu.

I rpm'ed the dosemu then used the dosemu-freedos...tgz and dosemu...tgz.

Please state exactly what you did and what you saw on the screen.

su
rpm -i dosemu*.rpm
exit
xdosemu

should work after a small q&a session. Similarly the tarballs if you follow the instructions in README.bindist.

Also try to run
xdosemu -D+dD -o log
that should make clear why dosemu couldn't find the DOS.

Hmm I wonder, do you have any old /etc/dosemu.users and /etc/dosemu.conf files lying around? If yes, then try to rename or delete them.

Hi Bart,
with your reply I decided to try again but with the same results - so I went back to 1.1.5 and ... was welcomed by 1.1.9 - go figure. I looks as if the two are somewhat intertwined with 1.1.9 wanting to insert itself into /root from /home/ areas.

I had 0 /etc/dosemu.users files and 1 /etc/dosemu.conf file. I had rename the dosemu-1.1.5 directories/files as old-dosemu...

The 1.1.9 errors were:
ERROR: x: unable to open font vga Error: trying "vga"
" x: " " vga " " "9x15"

You do not have dosemu vga font installed & are running remote x. You need to install the vga font on your local server. Look @the readme for details. For now we start with a fixed font which does not display all ................... be warned.

I had already deleted the 1.1.9 so could not run xdosemu -D+dD -o log. I'll try to reinstall soon.

What do you make of 1.1.9 intruding on the 1.1.5 install? I guess I didn't delete all its references and it is there?
