I too am having problems...


After reading copious HOWTOs & READMEs, I think my problem lies with
LILO.
I have one disk, split into 4 partitions:
hda1 is the suspend partition for my laptop
hda2 is the windows95 partition, with a shell statment in the config.sys
to load 4Dos 5.55
hda3 is swap
hda4 is linux ext2

hda2 is mounted, at boot, to /dos using the following fstab entry:
   /dev/hda2  /dos   vfat   defaults,user  0  0


How on earth do I get dosemu to use my 4Dos dos rather than freedos?

As a sub-question, is there any way to run SPX packets (ie run netadmin
from a Novell4.11 server?)
