I've just recently being to download DosBox for Windows using the OptusNet Mirror (AU) but the page had apparently been removed or unavailible, so I was wondering if there's an alternate way to get it! I'm dying for space quest!!!

Head over to their sourceforge page and download from another mirror (personally, I always go with HEANet, 'cos we Irish are great)

Try: http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcefor...2-installer.exe (http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dosbox/DOSBox0.63-win32-installer.exe)




Edit: For some reason, clicking this link doesn't work - just right-click on it -> Copy Link Location -> Paste into address bar (And you'll be sorted)

If you really*can't manage to download DOSBox 0.63 then PM me and we'll see if we can work something out.

Edit: I'm not 100% sure but I think the link on Abadonnia is only another link to the true download page...

Thanks guys, and god bless the irish, but the tragedy doesn't end here!
I successfully installed DosBox and followed the DOsBox tutorial, but after configuring the program saving it then running it, instead of a C:\> at the top of the screen I've got a Z:\> Any thoughts guys?

Well, very quickly; just type "info" or "help" and that should get you started.

Beyond that, read the DOSbox FAQ on the site.

I cant figure out how to mount C drive into dosbox directory. Ive read the intro, but it doesn't work. I feel dumb. Any thoughts how to get this done?

mount C C:\path\to\your\desired\location
or in Linux:
mount C /home/foo/dosgames/
