At end this script starts 'dosemu.bin' - self DOS emulation engine. dosemu.bin then initialize and run some instance of DOS (usually FreeDOS). There is not necessary have DOS on FAT partition, it may be on some native Linux partition too. Dosemu uses some configuration files in '/etc/dosemu/', it has other files in /usr/bin/, /usr/share/dosemu/, /usr/share/doc/dosemu/, /usr/lib/dosemu/ etc. These files and their precise location You should obtain from your package system - command 'rpm -ql dosemu' give it on my Fedora system, which use RPM package manager. Ubuntu has IMO 'apt' as package manager. > I am also trying to find all of the associated/required files. I don't > understand how the links work in d:/dosemu when they all lick to > generic.com.
