Sorry to ask one more question about this... I want to have some good understanding of these things in order to modernise my "Dosemu for dummies" page. With a default .deb or .rpm install of 1.4, I can make the C: drive equal to the existing C: drive of a previous installation of dosemu. Say my previous version's C: drive is $HOME/olddos. Then I can do either 1) create a $HOME/.dosemurc file with a line in it $_hdimage = "$HOME/olddos" 2) go to $HOME/.dosemu/drives and do ln -nsf $HOME/olddos c 3) go to $HOME/.dosemu and do mv drive_c drive_c.orig ln -nsf $HOME/olddos drive_c (BTW which of these 3 methods would be the best?) This works OK. This I understand, because the "olddos" from my existing installation is a "pseudo-C:" drive with the proper "boot files" in it (msdos.sys, io.sys, command.com, or in the case of freedos: kernel.sys and command.com). But what I do not understand is how the original C: drive (just after a fresh install), namely $HOME/.dosemu/drive_c, could work. It does not contain the .sys files that a DOS boot disk should have. Just AUTOEXEC and CONFIG. So how can it boot?
