"

"

Do i need to do any changes to some config files

Did the install place freedos in the correct location? On mine it's in ~/dosemu/freedos and I have a .dosemu directory with log files and my drive settings. Since the file is a .tgz maybe you can just do installpkg *freedos*.tgz to install it.

There is a /etc/dosemu directory with the global config files. One mentions a ~/.dosemurc. Look into that for user-specific config.

Personaly I haven't used dosemu since I installed it. I prefer DOSBox.

Thanks, i will give dosbox a try
