If you already have DOS installed in a partition, all you need to do is the change the line: $_hdimage = "freedos" to $_hdimage = "/dev/hd??" where /dev/hd?? is your DOS partition in /opt/dosemu/conf/dosemu.conf. You should go through the file and change it according to your needs. Also, in order to use dosemu this way, the partition must not be mounted.
2) Create and execute autoexec.bat and config.sys files I know how to edit an ascii file, what I don't know is what to put in it
It uses the ones on the DOS partition.
3) Access the CD-ROM drive (to read CD, CD-R and CD-RW media). can I "copy genled.dbf (cdrw)" or do I have to run an external program from linux. outside of dosemu?
If you have setup things correctly, you access the floppy and CD in the usually way as in DOS.
When all is understood, how do I convert from Freedos to MS-DOS 6.22?
If you use the partition method it uses the DOS on the DOS partition. If you are not using the partition method, you will then need to create a new disk image.
