I installed SW40 bash.tgz and then downloaded the 1.99.2 version of 
dosemu. First I tried to read the FAQ for BL1 but that site is not 
accessible, nor is the European BL3 site (volny.cz).

Is this the correct version for BL3?

The installation script would not run before I installed bash.tgz (at 
least not on a previous computer).  This time both files (dosemu and 
freedos-dosemu) installed, so I followed the instructions to

cd dosemu
dosemu

Dosemu:  86:  Syntax error:  Bad substitution.

I have the SW81 glibc-so 2.2.5 on this computer for use with links2 from 
delilinux (Xvesa is not working right here) - could that be causing 
problems?  I could try a later dosemu (it uses glibc 2.2.5) but that had 
its own problems with missing A and S in CLI mode.


dosemu is a script and there are some lines about NOT_SYSTEM_WIDE - should 
I put # in front of them?  I copied the .tgz files to / and tar -zxf'ed 
them there rather than in a user directory.  I think the above error 
refers to line 86 of dosemu and not the system-wide stuff.
Line 86 appears to be an 'if then', at least that is the top line on the 
page when less says I am on line 86 of 405.


I did not have these problems installing a later dosemu to BL2 (but it had 
the keyboard problems).

I changed inittab but have not rebooted so I am probably still using 
busybox sh = ash.
