Sorry, I don't get in here very often, so I didn't see this until just
now.

Installing DR-DOS with dosemu is just like installing any other DOS with
dosemu. I haven't installed DR-DOS yet (will do it tomorrow) but I did
install Win98's DOS.

With dosemu 1.0.2 you just copy an entire bootable DOS into a
subdirectory of $HOME/dosemu/. I'll be putting DR-DOS in one called
"dr-dos". Then edit $HOME/dosemu/conf/dosemu.conf and change the hdimage
line from "freedos" to "dr-dos". Edit config.sys and autoexec.bat to
suit; I think you'll have to "rem" the lines for any DPMI driver or memory
manager, because I think dosemu provides the DPMI.

Of course when editing a DOS batch file or config.sys, you have to
ensure that it has DOS line endings. There are numerous ways to do this.
A simple way is to edit them in DOS. :)

What did you try? Did you have trouble with something? The included
FreeDOS, and the Win98 I installed, both seem to do pretty well.

Anyone else using DR-DOS in dosemu?
