Find the file "dosbox.conf" in the DOSBox installation directory. Edit the file with Notepad. Add the mount command at the end of the file, where it says "[ autoexec ]".

All this is very confusing ! ; what do you call installation directory ? : I am using DOSBox under linux and I have installed DOSBox by compilation under "/user/local" ; there the are only :
/usr/local/bin/dosbox,
/usr/local/man/man1/dosbox.1
what do you mean by" dosbox.conf" file nowhere to be seen !
Regards

Had you read the readme, you would have seen the config internal command.

There is a default config file included in the install directory of the Windows version, but not with the Linux version..

We took the wild guess that Linux users weren't as clueless as Windows users ... errr ... well .. 😅 😁

Too much Mandrake? Or time to revert that decision and have a config-file + a DOSBox.sh script to run & load the external config?

it's responsibility of the package maintainer to include one.

Some distro's come with a default configfile.
