The intention is that `make install` or `sudo make install` puts all
files in the correct spot. By default that would be in
/usr/local/libexec/dosemu.
dosemu-setupfreedos is called from dosemu-installfreedosuserspace which
in turn is called from insfdusr.bat which is installed in
/usr/local/share/dosemu2-extras/bat. The default configuration mounts
that to f: and puts it in the path, also a message is printed that this
command can be executed when all is in place.
dosemu-installfreedosuserspace will first trigger dosemu-downloaddos
that downloads the set of zip files (you observed that it failed
previously), those are put in a directory below ~/.cache/dosemu. Then it
will call dosemu-setupfreedos which unpacks those zip files and creates
a structure representing how FreeDOS was provided for dosemu 1.
You can call the individual scripts manually too, provide the -h
argument to get info on how they work. Note that this is not typically
needed. For instance the downloading is not repeated in case that was
done previously.
I appreciate you're looking into this and are providing feedback.
Thanks! Some of the design/structure is sub-optimal and will also be
revisited over time.

where should everything be living for dosemu-setupfreedos to work?
I have freedos12 on the system and dosemu-setupfreedos doesn't find it.
Also when inside dosemu where does dosemu find its batch files?
