Running FreeDOS on real hardware can be challenging. If you only want to play Lure of the Temptress, on a mordern computer you have two options: * DOSBox * ScummVM
I would recommend to use ScummVM for playing old (and by ScummVM supported) click-and-point adventures. It integrates very well into modern operating systems (Windows, OS X, Linux) and doesn't have to emulate a DOS environment and x86 hardware. DOSBox will run almost all DOS games on various hardware and also runs on modern operating systems, even on other platforms (ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and more, additional to x86). FreeDOS on the other hand is a very old operating system concept. Running it on modern hardware will very often result in some features not working correctly. DOS games often required an AdLib or SoundBlaster audio card. For AC'97 and Intel HD-Audio sound, there are no DOS drivers that can emulate an AdLib or SoundBlaster card. The result is that on lots of hardware setups you will end up with a bootable FreeDOS with dozen of missing drivers, simply because of the comprehensible fact that those drivers would have to be programmed by the developers, which would cost a lot of money, and for an operating system that is almost no longer used by anyone, except some enthusiats. DOS driver development on modern hardware is just not viable. Good luck!
