You don't really need a copy of it. I've been using DOSEmu since quite
sometime. All you need to do is change the value of $_hdimage to
something like $_hdimage="/dev/hda1 /dev/hda5" (of course, this depends
on where you've installed DOS). So you really don't need to install DJGPP
all over again. The performance I get is exactly the same I get under
*real* DOS.
