Newbie question - dosemu on SuSE linux 10.0

Hello,

I'm suffering from extreme newbie frustration! I'm new to linux, been checking out fedora core 3, and now Suse. Grew up on Dos, and have a program that I must keep going.

I tried dosbox - it worked, but I couldn't print.

The Yast software tool that comes with Suse shows Dosemu, and seems to install it, but when I try to find it by searching the "Applications" button on the desktop, it does not exist - though dosbox does.

I've searched through the file system, and see a couple of folders called dosemu, There does not seem to be any executable files in them, but frankly I'm not sure.

I'm starting to wonder if I have to run dosemu from a terminal?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Steve

Hello,
please open a terminal and start with "xdosemu"
after some confirmations, dosemu should start.
For use your old dos-programs, please create a directory and copy the dos -programs there (you can do it in your home directory). Maybe you have to edit your autoexec.bat in oder to create a dos-drive letter.

Please do not forget to edit the dosemu.conf in /etc/dosemu/ for keybord settings, mouse and other.

Best regards
Bernhard Bialas
