Wine is Divine for Windows Stuff. But what about DOS?

[mattrock1988]

Wine is the coolest Windows API interface for Linux if I got that right. I actually have heard of this program called DOSBox that emulates the dos environment for dos apps. You can even run Windows 3.11 in it! Thought you might want to have someone include it in the next release of KNOPPIX.

To install DOSBox on Knoppix 3.8.x (assuming the network is properly configured & the machine can access the internet) is as simple running two commands:
apt-get update
apt-get install dosbox
The total download size is about 10MB.

DOSbox is cool. I see that you can run Windows 3.1 on it, but I don't happen to have a Windows 3.1 installation disk. It would be good if DOSbox was included in the next release of Knoppix.
