Hello.

Quoted 1 line · Wesley Parish

It's a rpm I downloaded, dosemu-1.2-1.i386.rpm

Very old, unsupported version.

I'm running it under X, launching it from konsole. I tried it without '&'

Right, it is not needed.

Dosemu is unsupported on such a horribly
outdated 2.6 kernels. Even though using
the newer dosemu (1.3.2 or CVS) may still
help.

Hello.

It's a rpm I downloaded, dosemu-1.2-1.i386.rpm

Very old, unsupported version.

I've compiled and installed dosemu-1.3.2 now. Problem now is, it starts up up till:
//
[wparish@localhost wparish]$ dosemu

Note that DOS needs 25 lines. You might want to enlarge your window before continuing.

Now type ENTER to start DOSEMU or <Ctrl>C to cancel

from built-in global.conf:699
Error in built-in global.conf: (line 838) Disk-device/file /var/lib/dosemu/drives/c doesn't exist. 1 error(s) detected while parsing the configuration-file //

Any ideas?

Thanks

You should remove any traces of the old dosemu, namely the ~/.dosemu directory. But the error message is slightly misleading, it refers to an old, deprecated path. Would be nice to have that corrected.

Thanks.

I'll keep you all posted on progress. (Maybe I should have a look at that config file misconfig? :-)
