No change, still the same problem with dosemu :(

I should have put my configuration on the table before: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (running at 1,2 Ghz, voluntary Bios setting), 384 Mb of RAM, 20 Gb hard disk (/ 15 Gb, /home 2Gb, swap 1Gb, another 1 Gb not yet formatted), the whole thing running under the latest Ubuntu release (6.06 Dapper Drake with all its updates installed).

Ok, that sounds fairly conventional. What's the output of "uname -a"?

(...):~$ uname -a
Linux elrascle-desktop 2.6.15-26-386 #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 02:52:00 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
