DOS emu and games

[JJ Neff]

I was coming to that conclusion...  I was gonna format a smallish partition
~750MB with Fat and use a DOS bootdisk.  Still have to reboot to play but don't
have to be in Windows...

Oh well. I haven't given up entirely, I want to try DosEMU with a DOS boot disk
(still having trouble even getting a CDROM loaded in DosEMU) I may be having
some problems with Supermount and dosemu and the cd not sure yet...

I actually thought I was the only Daggerfall player ever!  :-)  I have
Battlespire as well but didn't enjoy it as much.  

Come to think of it some of my favorite games EVER were DOS, Tombraider,
Daggerfall, BioForge,  but of course that leaves out Half-Life and RTCW (which
I consider Linux games:-).  

I hope to try NWN tonight as I downloaded the Linux Resources and Linux client
and Linux updates - but to free up enough space I'll have to format my Windows
Partitions :-O !!!  (Now that I have VMware running Win98 that is not as
scary... Have to be able to use MS Money)
