Okay, I was hoping to see a bit of list traffic before sending, but,
for whatever reason, I'm not seeing anything.  I hope it's not some
kind of filtering spazz - though I did get the list welcome mail, so
that seems unlikely.

Teal deer: I'm getting the message in the Subject:, but can't figure
out where to get an appropriate ems.sys.

In more detail....

I'm trying to use dosemu on Linux (kernel 3.13.0-48-generic, on
x86_64).  The binary distribution had some X issues - but I know a bit
about X, so I cloned the git tree and started to fix them.  I think I
have succeeded in fixing the immediate problem there, but now I'm
having other trouble.

The binary distribution claims to be 1.4.0.1 (in that when I run
dosemu.bin --version, the first line printed is "dosemu-1.4.0.1"); as a
disambiguator, dosemu.bin's MD5 hash is
60bf29180c9270018f6ba8f246e57a41.  But when I base my stuff on commit
77c5e739bf5f128802ef55763909568008eac6f0 ("Tagging 1.4.0.1", the only
child of commit 74b00d8d5b46d20ce384ab64544ea41a389afe70, "DOSEMU
1.4.0.1"), all I ever get is segfaults on startup after a complaint
about how LOWMEM mmap is failing.  The binary distribution's dosemu.bin
does print

EXPERIMENTAL: using non-zero memory base address 0x110000.

and strace leads me to think this is relevant (in that it's printed
immediately after the same mmaps fail, but then two more mmaps are done
with addr=0x110000).  However, I can't find that anywhere in the
1.4.0.1 tree.

So I moved my work over to the apparent development tip, basing it at
commit 18f6f5cdf1beceae8c7532718bfaf423e4a44f6a instead.  It still
crashed, but now I could find hints in the source that turning on
EXPERIMENTAL would help.  It did; I then got something that would start
(and, yes, the X issue was fixed) and complain about missing DOS.  So I
fetched dosemu-freedos-1.0-bin, through the chain of redirections (the
first one coming from either http://www.dosemu.org/stable/ or
http://www.dosemu.org/bleeding/):

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dosemu/dosemu-freedos-1.0-bin.tgz?download
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/dosemu/dosemu-freedos/1.0/dosemu-freedos-1.0-bin.tgz?download=
http://superb-sea2.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dosemu/dosemu-freedos/1.0/dosemu-freedos-1.0-bin.tgz

which last finally gave me the gzipped tarball.  I did a make install
with this in place as dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz and then it was willing to
start, but told me

and I've been unable to find an ems.sys that works any better,
including the one generated from ems.S during the build.
Remove your ~/.dosemu/* (ems.sys is there)
