dosbox.conf missing


I have FC3 and I installed dosbox off of freshrpms or one of those repos. When I start up dosbox it whines about not having a .conf and then starts up with the defaults. Is there somewhere I should download this from or should I just create it from scratch? Either way, what folder do I put it in?

Thanks!

You have to create a .conf file. Otherwise you are stuck with the defaults and have to use the mount commands, etc. to configure the environment.

Do a man dosbox to get information and look at the following page:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/

Look at the various resources there on how to create a .conf file.
Use the syntax found on the man page for DOSbox on how to make it load a particular conf file (I recommend one for each program you run, specific to that program's requirements).
