Hi there
I have recently installed dosemu2 and and have a couple of questions.
I read that; quote:- "The autoexec.bat used by default for dosemu is
/usr/share/dosemu/dosemu2-cmds-0.2/fdppauto.bat . You can edit it by
opening it with 'sudo gedit [filename]'
in the terminal but you shouldn't need to."
In the current version I have installed, the directory is dosemu2-cmds-0.3.
Editing fdppauto.bat appears to make no difference at all. I do not
require sound or CDROM support.
Does anyone know which file is used for booting?
Second question. Drives D, E and F are created on installation.
Attempting to write to files on these drives results in an error message
of "Access Denied" being issued.
I have been using QEMU and FreeDos up to now. There are several
drawbacks compared with dosemu2. Copying a large number of files to the
image and retaining file timestamps is a problem. I achieve this by
first copying to the access drive, then starting FreeDos in QEMU and
then using XCOPY to transfer files to the C: Drive (image). This takes
considerable time. I have had little to no success exporting files.
Writing to the access drive usually crashes QEMU. And finally, FreeDos
under QEMU is slightly slower than dosemu2. The stability of dosemu2
remains to be seen.
