I notice it isn't included in Suse 10.0, and I have trouble compiling/running it on Athlon 64. Is there a good reason for this? I notice that vm86plus support isn't in the 64 bit kernel, is this a fundamental restriction of 64 bit kernels? How to get DOSEMU running? -- Simon Dales, Software Consultant "The impossible is easy"

No, a restriction of the AMD64 architecture.
How to get DOSEMU running?
As far as I understood, you can't. Ciao, Marcus

Does it work well? DOS apps + maybe Win16? -- Simon Dales, Software Consultant "The impossible is easy"

Try it out, it could be that your answer is different from other peoples answers. ;-) houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

:-( I've used the FreeDOS boot floppy to flash my BIOS. My new machine hasn't a floppy drive (I haven't missed it), but updating the BIOS is going to be tricky because vendors only want to support Windows. Kurt -- The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlight of an approaching train.

Download a DOS floppy boot image. You can add the flash utility and the new BIOS image to the floppy if you mount the image. Then burn it to a CD. I've done it to flash my BIOS before.
