For the dos program to work, it must believe that the filesystem image under linux is a drive in the dosemu bios. The old wholedisk option looks like it would work, but I'm using version 1.0.2.1-7 (from Debian stable) and it appears to not be available. The dos program I want to get working is called ltools, which is a set of utilities to read linux filesystems. The web page can be found here: http://www.it.fht-esslingen.de/~zimmerma/software/ltools/ltools.html I'm trying to automate a portion of our testing process that requires generating signatures of files read off an ext2 filesystem that are located on a compact flash. The signature generating program is run after ltools is used to copy the files off the compact flash, and it is also a dos program. Since this is a verification test, I must maintain the process as close as possible, so things like copying the files to the dos directory beforehand won't work. Anyone here have a filesystem image working as a harddrive under dosemu with the latest stable version? I've got it mostly working under bochs, but it's slow and I would rather use dosemu if I can. Thanks, Bryan
