A contact built dosemu2 on debian and I installed it.
When I ran dosemu -dumb it came up and left me at the c: prompt. A tmp
directory on the hard disk in /home/jude/.dosemu/drive_c/ but no more than
that. edlin wasn't there among other expected utilities one would find in
dos.
I can live with that.
When I tried running without dumb though I got a boot.log.3 that was over
1,000 lines long. radeon and dosemu2 don't get along all that well. I
was curious to find out what would happen with sdl and the sdl package is
on this debian instance. The deb packages are not in the debian archive
this was another debian user who had a slow day at work and built this for
me.
I'll try putting some dos utilities and programs in the drive_c directory
then find out if they can run on next boot into dosemu2.
More later as I figure it out.
