Hi list, I need your information on dosemu in Suse 7.1 and above: Background: I have been running my BBS using dosemu since version 0.66 and it worked like a charm. 4 nodes including ISDN autobooting and affixed to consoles 09-12 (Fkeys). Until now....... Now, I have "upgraded" to Suse 7.0 and therefore dosemu 1.0.1 all I feel is annoyment. Oh god, what an "upgrade"! Not that the file format has changed and I had to re-edit all my 7 config files again, no, you have to get used to those circumstances, but also options have changed and this is the problem: I have successfully used direct partition access and redirecting for years! I have accessed like /dev/hda1 to boot dos and then redirected all mounted shares using LREDIR to see them all back in my dosemu tasks (Necessary for operation!). Now the BIG BIG BIiiiiiiG BULLSHIT is: You can no more boot using partition access when that partition is mounted under Linux - but it HAS TO BE MOUNTED, or the LREDIR WILL NOT WORK. I am currently in my appartment for some days, so I got an EMail access (no web) only. What is the version like? Has this BULLSHIT-FEATURE gone now? Has anyone a workaround? See, I am really annoyed. I am close to reinstalling 0.97 beta, where all worked fine. Hope someone is able to see the problem from this view and help solve it. Thanks. Because their homepage is "an old joke" as of what I have seen last time (looked very unmaintained, with DOCs from around 1997 and stuff, never visited it again because of that) and most of the listed dudes either changed their email addresses or did not even reply. GOOD SUPPORT...APPLAUSE!!!! SUPERB!!!! Sorry for that rant....errmmm... but if you have just spent two hours of READING and EDITING for nothing, my italian temperament gets through...maybe I am overlooking something, it is just so big a bunch of text...and my BBS is temp. down.............. Kind hopeful regards from italian stallion...
