I create a custom user's desktop and whatnot and put that into /etc/skel. That way all new users automatically get my custom desktop. I also have a symbolic link in ~/.dosemu/drive_c to a directory under /opt where I keep the common databases that all users access through the dos programs. I have discovered that if I have a ~/.dosemu/drive_c/link in/etc/skel, then dosemu somehow can't find the symbolic link. "cd c:\link" in a new user's directory. "cd c:\link" gives me a "chdir failed" error. If I delete ~/.dosemu from the user's home directory, then run dosemu and allow it to create its own ~/.dosemu, then put my batch file and symbolic link into that directory, everything works perfectly. And I have no idea why it would make any difference, but it does. Do you perhaps have a similar problem? What happens if you remove ~/.dosemu and then run dosemu? Does it work then? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
