Starting with dosemu-0.64.1 emumodule's functionality (vm86plus) has been
put into kernel patches. For kernels 2.0.x you have the choice between
using the kernel patch and loading emumodule. However, for kernels 2.1.x
you have no choice: You _must_ use the kernel patch for a full feature
dosemu.
For more details get
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/ALPHA/dosemu/dosemu-0.64.1.tgz
and read ./src/doc/README.kernel-patches.
For those of you only interested in the kernel patch, please have a look at
ftp://elserv.ffm.fgan.de/pub/linux/dosemu/v0.64/vm86patch.tar.gz
We re-worked emumodule (vm86plus) a lot and abandoned all stuff that may
lead to security holes for the kernel. As part of an agreement with Linus
we expect to have the new vm86pus support in the official 2.1.x kernels,
though there may be some details changed on Linus' demand. ;-)
