Re: Dosemu ?

another free setup that may help with certain things, ex: sound card
support and a few issues dosemu may have had (far in the past) is to use
qemu w/ your dos of choice, they have a freedos image on their site.

I do not use the stable/unstable qemu under debian, I instead compile it
with kqemu support (kernel module providing faster i/o access to qemu).

I use this setup primarily for designing small footprint rootfs's for
some special linux setups I am involved in, its pretty fast. Probably
not blazing fast but you could get around a lot of the kernel specific
headaches you may be stopped by.
