&gt; Jim,
&gt; 
&gt;     It sounds like you're trying to install before you get into dosemu, 
&gt; rather than starting dosemu, and then installing.  You may also need to 
&gt; setup a redirect to your CD-ROM (/dev/cdrom) do d:\ (you can do this via 
&gt; your dosemu/autoexec.bat file I believe).  I untarred / installed dosemu 
&gt; in /usr/local (i.e. /usr/local/dosemu), and the users who need it have a 
&gt; symlink to it in their ~/bin directories (and dosemu starts from their 
&gt; .bash_profile, so they have no idea it's not their DOS box anymore B-), 
&gt; but that's another post).  Anyway, here's what I'd do:
&gt; 
&gt;  - It sounds like you've got dosemu installed, but to be complete, 
&gt; install dosemu (skip this if you already have)
&gt;  - Modify my autoexec.bat (for me, it's in /usr/local/dosemu/freedos) to 
&gt; include a link to /dev/cdrom as d:\
&gt;  - Insert and mount your Doom CD in the CD ROM
&gt;  - start dosemu (after the brief little disclaimer, should dump you at a 
&gt; c:\ prompt)
&gt;  - run the install.bat script
&gt;  - If it still says that directories don't exist, see if you can see 
&gt; which ones, and create them (in dosemu).  Also, make sure that your 
&gt; userid has permissions to create directories in your dosemu directory 
&gt; (so that the files can be installed).  Since I've never done it, I can't 
&gt; guarantee that it'll work, but this will hopefully get you started.  In 
&gt; the meantime, I'm looking around for an MS DOS game that I can install 
&gt; on a *nix box via dosemu just for the heck of it B-).

&gt;&gt;&gt; I'm using dosemu for an application, but haven't had any trouble with 
&gt;&gt;&gt; it.  The directory that the version of dos (I'm using the stock 
&gt;&gt;&gt; freedos, but got it to work with MS DOS 6.2 also) is in is generally 
&gt;&gt;&gt; your c:\ drive.  What does the prompt that you're trying to install 
&gt;&gt;&gt; Quake under look like (i.e. is it still a $ or # prompt, or is it a 
&gt;&gt;&gt; c:\ prompt)?  If it's not the latter, have you typed 'dosemu' to 
&gt;&gt;&gt; start the emulator (I know that this may seem obvious, and don't mean 
&gt;&gt;&gt; to offend, but just want to be certain).

&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; No offense taken Nathan. Basically I type &quot;dosemu install.bat&quot; while in
&gt;&gt; the install directory of the cd. It asks me what drive to install to and
&gt;&gt; I type C. It then asks about the directory for the doom install. When I
&gt;&gt; respond to that it tells me &quot;More than one of those directories doesn't
&gt;&gt; exist!&quot; It then asks me to reenter the directory and nothing I've tried
&gt;&gt; works.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; If I start dosemu without any other parameters it gives me a promt like:
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; C:\&gt;
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; when it loads. Any ideas?
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; Thanks,
&gt;&gt;
