Is possibil to run FoxPro v2.6 application in DosBox from DamnSmallLinux for Pentium 75 Mhz and 16 MB RAM ?
No. The computer specifications are nowhere near to those which would enable even to start DOSBOX...
You are trying to emulate DOS on a computer which has parametetrs of high end DOS computer...
Maybe DOSEMU in Linux will work on such ancient configuration, though I doubt it...

mirekluza, I think this person may be talking about a FoxPro program that has a minimum system requirement of Pentium 75MHz w/ 16MB RAM. Costica, could you confirm/deny?
Yes, it’s my fault.

Maybe, though I guess that DamnSmallLinux is a bare-bone installation for ancient PCs...
My guess is based on the name - I can be completely wrong...

It isn't minimalist in RAM usage/processor usage, etc -- it just weighs in at undr 50 MB. So, in short, no.
But, instead of trying to guess what's "DamnSmallLinux", can we step back a bit and ask if Foxpro can run on DOSbox on _any_ machine. Then figure out if it will run on any of the fringe OS's. I'd love to be able to run Foxpro on DOSbox, but DOSbox can't send any output to the printer. FreeDOS can manage some of the job, but it's buggy and slow.
Heck, I'd even pay for a DOSbox that would run FoxPro on Linux!
Well first of all you could give WAY more information about
the problem that arises, like what error messages you get,
what dosbox configurations you already tried etc.
If it's only about printer output, you should try the printer
patch (HAL modified it lately to match the CVS of dosbox),
then install msdos (or freedos) onto a diskimage, boot this
image and run your program there. Might work then.
