|
## Running
|
|
|
|
Just type `dosemu` to run an emulator.
|
|
Use `dosemu -E <dos_cmd>` to run `<dos_cmd>` and exit (add `-T` to not exit).
|
|
Use `dosemu -K <unix_dir> -E <dos_cmd>` or `dosemu -K <unix_full_path>`
|
|
to run DOS programs from unix directories.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring
|
|
|
|
Per-user configuration file can be created as `~/.dosemu/.dosemurc`.
|
|
Add your custom settings there.
|
|
Look into the global configuration file `/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf` for
|
|
existing settings, their descriptions and default values, and modify
|
|
the local config accordingly. `$_hdimage` is probably the first setting
|
|
to look into, as it configures the host fs access.
|
|
|
|
Create `c:\userhook.sys` and/or `c:\userhook.bat` files to customize your
|
|
boot sequence. userhook.sys can contain the `config.sys` directives and
|
|
`userhook.bat` can contain custom boot commands.
|
|
|
|
Drive `C:` is usually located at `~/.dosemu/drive_c`. You can add DOS
|
|
programs there. Or you can run `dosemu -d <unix_dir>` to mount the
|
|
`<unix_dir>` as a new DOS drive.
