dosemu for Debian
-----------------

The dosemu has been preconfigured for you with minimal options.
You can just run xdosemu or dosemu to get a dos prompt.

Please be aware that the configuration files for dosemu are in /etc/dosemu
rather than /etc.

0.98.8-2 or less
-----------------

If you are upgrading from 0.98.8-2 or less, please note that
/etc/dosemu/{conf, users} have been renamed as
/etc/dosemu/dosemu.{conf, users}.

lredir
------

The number 46 in errors like this

Error 46 redirecting drive D: to LINUX\FS/PATH

is the value returned by int 0x21 with AX=0x5f03.  Similarly, the number in

Error 46 cancelling redirection on drive D:

is the value returned by int 0x21 with AX=0x5f04.

FreeDOS
-------
Initially dosemu is configured to use FreeDOS.  Until a FreeDOS package can
be made that meets requirements of the Debian distribution, you will have to
download it separately.  It can be fetched from

ftp://ftp.dosemu.org/dosemu/dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz

To install it:

cd /usr/lib
mkdir -p dosemu freedos
ln -s ../freedos dosemu
tar zxf /pathto/dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz dosemu/freedos
chown -R root.root freedos
chmod -R og=rX freedos
rm dosemu/freedos

Because dosemu may replace certain files in the freedos tar ball, you must
do this before you install dosemu or reinstall dosemu after you've done
this.
