Thank you for moving to the general section..
I try to use ~/.dosboxrc in the linux command but it does not work ... Where do I find the dosbox.conf ? what directory has the dosbox.conf ?
I know where the dosbox.conf is for Windows XP.
Thanks!

You need to create it from inside dosbox.
Read the README, focusing on the CONFIG section combined with -writeconf.
And the dosbox.conf will only be in the directory that it is created in. If you run dosbox from another directory, it will not find or use it.
If you want to use the same .conf from anywhere than you need to copy your dosbox.conf to /home/USERNAME/.dosboxrc where USERNAME is what you log in as.
(~ is the same as /home/USERNAME under Linux. My apologies if you already knew that)
If you are lost in the Unix file system, try this:
$ find / -name "some-file-name" -ls

For anyone who reads this, here's a solution that worked for me:
1 - Open dosbox
2 - From within, type the following to generate the rc file:
config -writeconf .dosboxrc
Now you have a generated .dosboxrc file in your home directory which you can then edit to taste.
The default config directory is ".dosbox". The configuration files themselves have a format of dosbox-VER.conf where VER can be 0.74, SVN, etc.
