dosemu-freedos

Description

Generally, the dosemu DOS emulator requires either that your system have some version of DOS available or that your system's partitions were formatted and installed with DOS. If your system does not meet either of the previous requirements, you can instead use the dosemu- freedos package, which contains an hdimage file which will be installed in the /var/lib/dosemu directory. The hdimage file is already bootable with FreeDOS.

You will need to edit your /etc/dosemu.conf file to add the image to the list of disk 'drives' used by dosemu.

Install dosemu-freedos if you are installing the dosemu package and you don't have a version of DOS available on your system, and your system's partitions were not formatted and installed with DOS.
