Re: dosemu and freedos
The following is based on my hamm system. Is there much different between hamm
and slink from dosemu and mtools points of view ?

I think there is a point to leave dosfree in the package. First, it does
support lredir. But, as much as I can tell, you must have a real dos fs to
redirect to. Second, freedos let you verify that everything is working
properly before going furhtere with dosemu. thirdly, if you have sufficient
privileges (and perhaps a suitable config files), it let you use your floppy.
If it is up to me then I will leave freedos with the dosemu package.
