Hmm. I tried using GNOME to install it, and couldn't find it. I
then did a "# yum install dosbox" and yum couldn't find it. I used
Google, and found a hit at sourceforge, but got an SQL error.

When was it added (I run FC2) and how can I pull a version?
I used dosemu and freedos for a while, but they stopped working
for me after a prelink run.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
