Package: dosemu
Version: 1.3.1.1
Severity: important

No COM port support in latest version package dosemu-1.2.1 with linux
kernel 2.6.x. Problem solved with dosemu version 1.3.2 available from
www.dosemu.org. No such package available for Debian. Other bugs: newer
versions of dosemu install virtuel C:\> directory in the home directory
of the user, not in /var/lib/dosemu. So dosemu doesn't need to run suid
root any more. Dosemu-freedos package and Xfonts-dosemu package should be 
included in dosemu package to ease installation for beginners.

Claudia,

You suggested this :

Ryan Underwood replied :

We've not heard back from you, so I'm closing this bug.  Feel free to
reopen and explain why.

Thanks,

Bart Martens
