Hello Travis, Ok, odd question, (lots of emulation), but I've got ubuntu 20.04 running under win10, using wsl.  I can't seem to get dosemu installed under that version of ubuntu (though it works fine under a real ubuntu system I have).  When I try to install dosemu under the ubuntu 20.04 running

You can also do that with qemu: -drive format=raw,file=fat:rw:$HOME/shared The QEMU docs state that the FAT is created at startup - so any new files added on the linux side won't appear to DOS after booting However, new files created from DOS will update the in-memory FAT and thus appear to DOS
