====================================================
The DOSEMU/FreeDos ready-to-use binary distribution.
====================================================


INSTALL
-------

The most easiest way to get DOSEMU working on your machine is to use
the ready-to-use DOSEMU binary distribution. This one comes in 2 packages:

  - ftp://ftp.dosemu.org/dosemu/dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz

      A tarball containing a collection of suitable FreeDos binaries,
      eventually patched to fit DOSEMU needs, together with some GNU
      tools you may find usefull.

  - ftp://ftp.dosemu.org/dosemu/dosemu-< version >-bin.tgz

      A tarball containing the recent DOSEMU binaries together with a
      user local configuration setup.

This installation fits into any user HOME directory and can be used
and installed without root permissions.
You have to unpack _both_ tarballs (as normal user, NOT as root) into
the same directory (regardless what ever) within your HOME, such as:

  $ mkdir mydos
  $ cd mydos
  $ tar -zxf dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz
  $ tar -zxf dosemu-1.0.2-bin.tgz
  $ cd dosemu

now look where you are and what was installed:

  $ pwd
  /home/joeuser/mydos/dosemu
  $ ls
  README.bindist  bin             dosemu          xdosemu
  Xfonts          conf            freedos



RUN
---

After you got the install right you now can execute DOSEMU with

  $ cd ~mydos/dosemu             # (your CWD _must_ be here)
  $ ./xdosemu

which will use X or execute

  $ ./dosemu

$_hdimage = "freedos"	# list of hdimages under DOSEMU_LIB_DIR
			# assigned in this order such as
			# "hdimage_c hdimage_d hdimage_e"
			# If the name begins with '/dev/', then partion
			# access is done instead of virtual hdimage such as
			# "/dev/hda1" or "/dev/hda1:ro" for readonly
			# Currently mounted devices and swap are refused.
			# Hdimages and devices may be mixed such as
			# "hdimage_c /dev/hda1 /dev/hda3:ro"
			# Note: 'wholedisk' is _not_ supported.
$_hdimage_r = $_hdimage	# hdimages for 'restricted access (if different)
