The Ugly Duckling of Linux
DOSEmu stands for DOS Emulation, and is a Linux application that enables the
Linux OS to run many DOS programs including some DPMI apps.
Linux is a powerful, "Unix-like" freeware Operating System.

The Good Stuff

dosemu-0.66.7-bin.tgz Binary release for the stable offspring needed on the 2.0.x / 2.1.x kernels. The binary distribution is statically linked against libc-5.4.23 and libX* from XFree-3.3. It should run on all current Linux distributions. dosemu-0.66.7.tgz Source distribution |

The Bleeding Edge Stuff
|
dosemu-0.97.10.tgz The latest development version. Don't expect this one to be stable at all. If you are familar with programming under Linux ... and familar with DOSEMU ... and want to help us ... ... well, then get this one. |

What other tools you may need
|
mtools-3.7.tar.gz mtools-3.6.tar.gz You need mtools >= 3.6 for accessing your hdimage, and when using the new tools from the ./dexe directory, such as making a ready to boot hdimage via setup-hdimage. |
|
binfmt_misc There is a nifty kernel patch flying around from Richard Guenther. With this patch you can execute a DEXE just by typing its name at the Bash prompt. You would need this patch only for Linux < 2.1.43, because newer Kernels have it already builtin. |

| DOSEMU-releases always are tested and compiled on the German-Engineered S.u.S.E Linux Distribution. This is the preferred reference distribution which (besides other nice features) takes care of all what DOSEMU needs. For more details visit the S.u.S.E home page However, because S.u.S.E follows the usual file system standards you should be able to run DOSEMU on any other good Linux distribution too. |
