Applications invisible under Dosemu/Ubuntu
Hi,
After some adventures, I managed to install dosemu on my Ubuntu 6.06 GNU/Linux (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/dosemu-freedos/+bug/56778
It's not the usual package from ubuntu repositories but dosemu-freedos_0.0.b9r5a-3_i386.deb from packages.debian.org).
The problem is that I downloaded the FreeDOS shell and Arachne (.exe files) and moved them into what I think is the virtual c: drive : home/stegozor/.dosemu/drives/c is a link that points to /home/stegozor/dosemu/dosemu/freedos, so I put the files there. Unfortunately, a little ls from gnome terminal shows them, but not a dir from the DOS prompt. I see exactly the same files in both cases, except the two files I've moved there that the DOS prompt doesn't show (even with a dir /a ). If I try to launch them, I get a "Bad command or filename".
What's wrong? Any help would be more than welcome. TIA.

Well, as a workaround, I fetched dosemu-1.3.3-1.110asp.i386.rpm and used alien to get a .deb copy. This latter version works fine, I see .exe files I copied in C:\. I was able to run both FreeDOS Shell (http://fdshell.sourceforge.net/) and Arachne. The funny thing is that when I launch Arachne, I have two pointers moving, one from gnome and the other one from Arachne. Apart from that, "alienized" dosemu seems to work fine so far.

Yes, the double mouse cursor issue is a regression in 1.3 (still in 1.3.4). I'll have a look. You can always work around it by grabbing the mouse cursor (ctrl-alt-home) or switching to fullscreen mode (ctrl-alt-f).
