Thanks James.

After studying your response, I searched for all ocurences of insmod.
There was another lurking somewhere. I renamed it to insmodold. Even 
though you said use the other insmod, it would not work. I kept on 
getting: insmod not a file or directory. Well I went to read LINUX 
manual about unix commands and started to understand why 
./load_module.sh has that dot before the slash. In DOS if you're in the
current DIR and the command is there the system doesn't have to stick to
the path. So you get my drift I hope. Anyway I applied my haunch and got
the help info after I did ./insmod from /usr/src/dosemu.bin where the
insmod command was placed. It worked.

finally was able to get DOSEMU started.

Thanks.

Now I have to figure out why am getting:

DOSEMU: ttys lock: (/usr/spool/uucp/LCK .. mouse): No such file or dir.
DOSEMU: ttys lock: (/usr/spool/uucp/LCK .. modem): No such file or dir.

And int10,0 set_video_mode failed

Like I said am new to this stuff!

Best regards

There is no /usr/spool/uucp/ directory so it can't make
/usr/spool/uucp/LCK .. mouse I had a similar problem when I ran a non-Debian
version of efax.  It should use /var/lock/LCK..mouse  instead.  Maybe
the directory DOSEMU uses is configurable.

Good luck,
Nathan

Thanks. I verified that I do not have the offending DIR. There is
a /var/lock/LCK. I will make the modification and see how it goes.
