Thank you both for your interest in helping me.
This is an old Fedora-3 installation that I have mangled up and use it
as a sandbox to learn the inner workings of linux. I have managed to
compile the programs I need and while doing so I learned a lot. Now the
specifics:
2.6.20 kernel on i686, AMD machine with nvidia graphics.
When I did ./configure it went OK, no warnings or errors. Compiled also
without problem. It is a challange for me to figure out, with some help,
why it is not booting up into the virtual dos window.
By the way, "dos" is also and old thing, but I still have some favorite
applications (not games) that I would like to use from within my linux.
I do have a modern installation as well, xubuntu 12.04, kept current.
There I use dosbox installed the easy way, directly from distro.
This is my story...
