I have downloaded and installed DosEmu (using universal binary from dosemu.org) that is just unTAR two provided bin.tgz files. It seems that DosEmu start properly, but cannot find command.com. I get completely confused, what is proper syntax and path to specify for it (on enclosed picture there are just two examples - I tried many others.

The config.sys is default from installation:
Code:
rem config.sys for DOSEMU + FreeDOS
rem note that the initial "D:" is set to "Z:" at the end
SWITCHES=/F
DOS=UMB,HIGH
dosdata=umb
lastdrive=Z
files=40
stacks=0
buffers=10
devicehigh=d:\dosemu\ems.sys
devicehigh=d:\dosemu\cdrom.sys
install=d:\dosemu\lredir.com z: linux\fs\${DOSEMU_LIB_DIR}/drive_z ro
shellhigh=d:\command.com /e:1024 /p


Picture DosBoxErr.png is a screen capture.
The complete filelist of installation is in enclosed in filelist.txt file (to avoid clutter of forum).

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

I just tried the latest Debian version as discussed here, and it worked fine:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=420133#420133

That is, I downloaded and installed these 2 Debian packages (unless you already have the dependencies from second one from another install).

http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/d/dosemu/dosemu_1.4.0+svn.1999-2_i386.deb

http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6_2.11.2-10_i386.deb

Open rxvt, and type "dosemu".

To exit dosemu: "exitemu".

Mine showed no errors or missing dependencies. Works fine.

Go find the dosemurc or dosemu.config file

look in it for a line like this:

$_hdimage = "/root/something"

Read the comments right above this line. It tells you about where directories are that look like your disks. The version you have is assuming that there is a thing made into the Z:. The C: will be the
first thing on this list of directories. Look there for the config.sys and autoexec.bat

By what method did you install it? Which Dosemu? (there are the files which I posted above, but there is also a .pet out there, which appears to produce an incomplete install).

After looking at one screen shot, I wonder if your install path is too long or deep or incorrect. And sorry I don't have DOSemu installed to check against.

~

/root/mydos/dosemu/freedos/ I think is correct

And the automatically installed directory /root/.docemu or /root/.dosemurc

I think that I saw a similar error when I installed from an older .pet. When I installed using the 2 .debs, it worked fine. I think that the last time someone reported this problem, it was a missing config file.
