I was quite happy using DOSEMU under Linux, but I desperately want to use FreeBSD (I paid $100 for manuals/media and be damned if I'll waste that money!!). PC-Emu doesn't do what I want it to. I suppose I should say that I don't have a DOS version early enough to run under PC-Emu so I couldn't get past the install step. Besides that, it just doesn't do what I've come to expect from DOSEMU. However, it appears to me that DOSEMU is written solely for Linux. Has someone out there used it under FreeBSD? If I added the Linux emulation to my kernel, would that allow me to run DOSEMU? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Jean-Henri Duteau jeand@myrias.com (work) jeand@west-teq.net (home) My employer: Myrias Computer Technologies (www.myrias.com) Currently working on RHSS - a realistic hockey simulator system covered by GPL.
