I add an "lredir" command to mount my windows c drive ( ie, add this line "lredir c /linux/fs/mnt/hda1". Then exitemu and then restart ./dosemu to be sure it mounts my windows drive as c:\.
After that i run ./xdosemu to run my old dos games from my windows c drive to take advantage of my graphics card (nvidia) acceleration via linux XFree.
This is works for me anyway.

BTW I am trying out Kanotix but cant get nvidia driver installed because the install scripts written by Fabianx are not there.
Have you been able to get it into full screen?

I am able to get a full-screen disply using Ctrl-Alt-F , but only in xdosemu. I believe there is a way to set the full-screen parameter as an argument when running dosemu, but I dont use it and it is explained somewhere in the dosemu docs. Ctrl-Alt-F allowed me to run descent in full-screen in xdosmeu.
Also note that i use the dosemu & freedos binaries. If I try to compile the source using Knoppix live cd it wont work because it makes some files read-only.
