Hello Janos, I tried (after years :) run again my FC3/i386 distro and found there dosemu-1.2.2 RPM package, which I build at that time. You can download if at: http://www.hanzlici.cz/packages/fedora/dosemu/fc3/dosemu-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm Unfortunately I have no dosemu-1.2.2 source RPM. I further tried to build under FC3 some newer dosemu version, and successfuly compile dosemu-1.3.2 (from ~ Fedora 5 times) and dosemu-1.4.0.1 (from ~ Fedora 11 times). Compiling newer versions fails on dosemu commands (in i86 assembler) build, and as I'm bad programmer, no know how solve this. Both these versions You can download from my web at http://www.hanzlici.cz/packages/fedora/dosemu/fc3/ (along with their source RPMs) HTH, Franta Hanzlík -- 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
