Speaking of DPMI,  then running DOS boxes in Linux is what dosemu is all 
about.  Fair to say that Dosemu is an implementation of DPMI for Linux? 
 ( Although unlike in  Windows the DOS has to "pretend" its on VFAT and 
it's not supposed to recognize a Linux filesystem, anyway... )

Sorry I know I could look this up, but I'm lazy so I'll ask right here 
since I'm thinking about this at the moment.   When I got dosemu as you 
all know it copied a FD directory tree and all - all the same 
directories and files that I got from the install CD for FD from 
ibiblio.  Instead of referring to this copy on my Linux partition, can I 
make it refer instead to the partition on which I have already installed 
Freedos(which is on my computer hda1 type fat16)?   This would also make 
the filesystem a little more sensible for DOS.

Thanks,

George
