where are all the dosemu files

where are all the dosemu files

[John R. Sowden]

I continue to use DOS because it is simple to configure, and requires a 
minimum of files.  I have been trying to find out the order of execution 
of dosemu from when I click on the icon until the c: prompt shows up.  I 
am also trying to find all of the associated/required files.  I don't 
understand how the links work in d:/dosemu when they all lick to 
generic.com.  Where are the actual files.  I want the minimum in my 
ubuntu directory structure and the mail part on a fat32 partition.

Where do i get this data?

There is nothing more, just generic.com and the symlinks to it.
Your question is unclear, I guess your problem is fat32 where
the symlinks do not work? In this case you can just have a
multiple copies of generic.com under different names.
But normally you can have drive C on fat32 and drive D in your
home directory of linux.
And you also need a freedos distribution of course.

Oh well, and a few *.sys files of course.

first start 'dosemu' - shell (sh/bash) script, which perform some
initialization and preliminary things. At end this script starts
'dosemu.bin' - self DOS emulation engine. dosemu.bin then initialize
and run some instance of DOS (usually FreeDOS). There is not necessary
have DOS on FAT partition, it may be on some native Linux partition too.

Dosemu uses some configuration files in '/etc/dosemu/', it has other
files in /usr/bin/, /usr/share/dosemu/, /usr/share/doc/dosemu/,
/usr/lib/dosemu/ etc. These files and their precise location You should
obtain from your package system - command 'rpm -ql dosemu' give it on
my Fedora system, which use RPM package manager. Ubuntu has IMO 'apt'
as package manager.

This trick uses fact, that binary can detect with which name run and
behaves depend on it.
