Hello guys,

I'm trying to configure the Autoexec section of Dosbox. I downloaded DOSBOX for Windows and I added these lines :

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.

MOUNT C C:\DOSGAMES\
C:

I saved and ran Dosbox.exe, it worked !

I'm doing the same thing for `Dosbox in Fedora 30`, configuring the file `dosbox-0.74.conf` located in `/usr/share/dosbox/translations/fr`.

But when I run it, it doesn't work.
Here is a screenshot :

It worked for Windows...

I tried to put these lines on each `dosbox-0.74.conf` located in each translation folder, but still not working.
I think that the application doesn't run this configuration file, it seems to be another file, but which one?
I've made a search of `dosbox` and these were the only files existing.

Can you tell where to find this folder? I've looked everywhere, impossible to find it.

It's a hidden folder in your HOME folder (~ means your HOME folder and the dot before the name means it is hidden)

Thank you very much, I did Ctrl+H on the root folder, and dosbox appeared. Magic.
