Does anyone know how I can run DOS on linux? I've been trying to follow details on this link but it is sort of old and I cannot seem to even get the DOSEmu to install because the version is not the same I guess; http://www.preshweb.co.uk/linux/howtos/dos/
Not sure if we got caught in a timing issue or not. You will need to either need to add one of the repos I mentioned or you can TRY and just follow the link(below) and double click on the dosbox rpm. You will have to choose 32bit/64bit and follow it down.

I am not sure what to download from the endless list of links on the i386/ directory. I am running CentOS 5 32bit. I am not a linux veteran so I may need more details on how to go about this.
Once you get to the directory just search the page (alt f assuming FF) for dosbox. Then just double click on it. It will ask for the root password and probably through a warning about package not being signed (not a issue since it is an official repo).

OK, so I downloaded dosbox-0.72-1.el5.i386.rpm and put it in the /usr/src/ directory in CentOS What do I do with this now? The tutorial on the dosbox website only talks about using it in Windows (makes no sense when Windows already has DOS anyway) but no mention of its use in Linux; http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Set...tion_of_DosBox .
Ok, in Linux and installing rpms do not worry about where to put the rpms(just leave them on the desktop). Move to whatever directory the rpm is located in and yum localinstall rpmname. In this case:
