    From Immortal@VERT/IDOMAIN to All on Fri Aug 7 09:56:56 2020
    I'm trying to switch from Ubuntu 18.04 to Debian buster. How do I install dosemu? It's not in the buster repository. The 32 bit binary on the dosemu website won't run under my 64 bit install. I tried downloading the dosemu source and compiling it but it says glibc isn't installed which it is. Or at least some version of it is but I'm new to Debian and am clearly missing something.

    Can I add the Debian 9 repository to my sources.list and install dosemu that way or will that cause problems? There has got to be an easier way of doing this. What would you guys suggest?

    Thanks

The 32 bit binary onããDebian Buster (10) unfortunately does not include the dosemu package any more,ãbut there are reports of people installing the .deb package intended forãDebian Stretch (9):ããhttp://www.goodbyemicrosoft.net/news.php?item.828.8ããAlthough the package dependencies might cause problems for future updates (orãperhaps dosemu runtime problems), it might be an alternative to not runningãdosemu at all.ããIn theory, a .deb package "really" for Debian Buster (10) could probably beãbuilt using the .dsc package for Debian Stretch (9) and the appropriateãDebian package building tools.ããI haven't tried any of this myself, but have been thinking of doing so to beãable to run some old BBS doors etc...ããBest regardsãZipãã--- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/06/11 (Linux/64)ã * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Swedenã
