I was just wondering - is it possible to "upgrade" the version of DOS in Dosemu to Windows98 so that it would work sortof like VMWare?

I seriously doubt that all you would need to run win98 is the same version of DOS. For one reason, you can't run 32-bit in Dosemu; that requires ring 0 and Linux doesn't give away that kind of power. I have successfully used MS-DOS 7 (aka win95 DOS), so I'm fairly sure you could run the DOS though.

I'm fairly certain this is doable. Firstly, make a Win98 EBD (Emergency Boot Disk), and see if DOSEmu can use that image. If the 98/DOS kernel loads, all you'd need are the files from C:\Windows\COMMAND\ to get a (mostly) functional system. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 x121 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
