If you're on XP:

If you're on Vista:

If you're on Dos you don't need to click.

If you're on Mac you're screwed if Wally is not around.


And you're totally screwed if he is around....

Installing dosbox on mac
1. download dosbox.dmg
2. Drag dosbox.dmg to applications
3. Double click dosbox, theres the window!

the first mountable directory is ~/
so for a directory called hello nested in a folder called dog
type mount c /hello/dog

easy stuff

You probably can wait for a long time, usually the Linux users aren't complete n00bs, they know they can solve most problems -(IF ARE)- reading the readme.

*points@Larry, sees him waiting for a looooooooooong time ..... laughs*
