Dear Debianers,
I need some basic help on dosemu.
I use Debian 2.0, kernel 2.0.36, and this is my /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda1 /c msdos defaults 0 2
/dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/fd0 /dosfloppy msdos user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /ext2floppy ext2 user,noauto 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
I'd like to run a couple of programs which reside in my dos partition /c
from within the DOS box under X11. I also would like to know how I install
further DOS programs: it would be ideal to keep them all in /c and free the
precious Linux partition from any contamination.
For this, I edited
/usr/lib/dosemu/commands/config.sys as follows:
rem This sets up the redirector to look at the Linux root directory.
rem this is probably not a good idea once you have dosemu installed
rem Following line commented by myself (12-98):
rem device=c:\emufs.sys /
device=c:\ems.sys
rem Lines below added by myself (12-1998):
rem Below I use n: (not g: as in the dosemu-HOWTO) as of the file
rem /etc/mtools.conf:
install=C:\subst.exe n: c:
install=c:\lredir.exe c: LINUX\FS\c
Is this correct?
I read that "the two config.sys must be identical": which ones, the above
and the one in /var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first?
If so, how do I copy (is this the right word?) the above config.sys into
/var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first (provided this config.sys is correct)?
Apart from this, I have only set a couple of things in /etc/dosemu/conf:
keyboard, mouse.
Do I have to uncomment the following line in /etc/dosemu/conf for what I
want to do?
#disk { partition "/dev/hda1" readonly } ## 1st partition on 1st ...
Finally, what I think is the first question that one should find answered in
any HOWTO or README: what is hdimage (hdimage.first)?
Thank you.
