Random googling on a totaly different subject, I got this http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DOSEMU-HOWTO.html#toc1
weird, lol.

This is the debian version of dosemu. Maybe somebody could make a mydsl extension for it? http://packages.debian.org/unstable/otherosfs/dosemu

I just tried to make a dsl my self, but whenever I try to execute the deb2dsl script, I get this error:
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I still get this message after running this command:
chmod 755 deb2dsl

I was able to do something with apt-get and dpkg -i, but I'm new to linux, and I don't know what it did.

i think you dont need the *.deb.
just download the dosemu-1.2.2-bin.tgz AND dosemu-freedos-b9r5-bin.tgz from DOSEMU Stable Code.
extract them in /opt
then tar.gz the /opt/dosemu dir.
thats it.

Oh, I'll have to try that. What do I do with the tar.gz file when I'm done? Do I just press the mydsl button in elmefm?
I already made a .dsl though. It seems to install fine, but the program itself doesn't work (to my knowledge).

Thanks, it worked. After extracting both tgz files i executed the dosemu file. Now I have to learn how to access my fat16 logical partition where all my dos files are. Thanks again!

edit: I figured it out, but when I can't run any dos programs with this. Even Simcity 2000, which is in one of the screenshots, doesn't work! Simcity 2000 is the only prog that doesnt freeze the program, but it gives me an error saying that it didn't detect a video card, and I should reinstall the driver. I tryed the dosemu in and out of x.
