DosEmu in RedHat 7.2
Hello.
Quoted 1 line · Michael Lee
Has anyone had success using dosemu in redhat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.18)?
Yes.
However, the kernel upgrade is recommended as there was some dosemu-related work done in 2.4.19 and 2.4.20.

downloading the latest (1.0.2.1) dosemu from sourceforge and compiling that.
No, 1.0.2.1 is nearly an year old and is currently not supported (hopefully there will be no support to it also in the future, as supporting 1.0 branch in its current state would be a nightmare and porting all the fixes to it is nearly impossible now).

Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated
Upgrade your dosemu.

"unsupported" basically means "seems effectively unmaintained" here.
Neither 1.0.x nor 1.1.x are supported beyond volunteers having time to look into problems. I support 1.0.x if somebody asks "how do I map a drive to a Linux directory using DOSEMU 1.0.2.1" and I say "use lredir like this". In that case I wouldn't say "upgrade first!".
The idea here is that if you have a problem (a DOSEMU bug, not just a user's question or setup fault) with 1.0.x, it might have been fixed in the 1.1.x development branch, but those problems have, so far, not been fixed in the 1.0.x branch.
