Apologies if this is a bit of a dumb question but I have NEVER used linux before and have been reading up a lot about it due to getting an N900 but I need some help. I have managed to install emelFM2 but I am now stuck on installing dosbox. I would really appreciate hints/tips or even a step-by-step walkthrough to help me install it.

Please elaborate on why you couldn't install dosbox?

basically you should do this:
- Enable extras-devel (instructions here, read the warning)
- Then Dosbox should be in the application list (under 'games' if I'm not mistaken)

hi all, i downloaded windows 98 iso, converted it to .img with UltraISO, did everything like 1st post said, but I get an error when running DosBox - "Could not extract drive geometry from image". Does any1 know how to fix this?
P.S when converted .iso to .img another file was created - *.sub file.

I've got only 1 question - how to add additional files there? I want to put ElastoMania in there(it's a cool game), doesnt require mouse to play. where do i put it?
Any1 can suggest with what to convert ISO to IMG?
