It'll get easier, I promise... :)

That's good.

Are you using X?  If so all you have to do is make the window bigger,
by one character I'd guess.

No idea what this is about, not sure if it's important.

DOSEMU doesn't provide DOS itself, so you need an image of a DOS
system somewhere in your system in order for DOSEMU to be able to
boot it.  You just have to put that image somewhere, then tell
DOSEMU where it is by editing one of the configuration files.
Check the DOSEMU documentation for how to do it.  You might find
it a little confusing if you're new to Linux (I found it a little
confusing and I'm not new:) but it is there.

Ged.

Looks like an old dosemu.conf; "make install" doesn't replace it because
that would wipe out existing configurations but now it seems we lost some
backward compatibility here. In any case you can look in /etc and
/etc/dosemu for dosemu.conf files and use a new one instead (see
etc/dosemu.conf in the source tree; /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf is now the
standard location but /etc/dosemu.conf still works too).

I think he might not have set the $hd_image setting, or something simple.  
I remember seeing this error before, and I use older dosemu.conf files 
without any problem.

running TCP?IP applications using WINSOCK in dosemu

[Madhumohan MuthuKrishnan]

Re: installing DOSEMU 1.1.\
---------------------------- 
Thank u very much bart
I was able to start dosemu by editing dosemu.conf
winsock
-------
Is it possible to install windows from dosemu
i.e windows 95/98
I have been able to run NCSA telnet client from dosemu
using dosnet
But is it possible to run TCP?IP applications using
WINSOCK
I found some references in the readme. But it was for
windows 3.1 and OS2
Is thre any one who has tried such applications

WinOS2 should run but it's been a long time since somebody tried it and
told me about it. I never did. Windows 95/98 don't run in DOSEMU -- you'd
have to look at Wine, win4lin or vmware for example.
