First of all, I've been looking through the forums here for quite a while,
and haven't been able to find any thread on the topic.
As you've probably realised by now, I'm having trouble running TES: Daggerfall on DOSbox under Ubuntu.
I downloaded it from Bethesda (zip file), and used their instructions.
Also, I tried reinstalling it several times to see if I did something wrong - I didn't. Anyway, I'm gonna copy the info from my thread on GameSpot

Alright folks,
Now I'm a sucker for oldschool DOS games; so I've been all over the net for two days trying to get this to work, but I simply couldn't find any solutions.
I guess I'll have to throw some information here.
TES: Daggerfall, legit download from Bethesda.
Install and update on DOSbox 0.73 Ubuntu 9.10 worked mighty fine,
I can mount the dagger and dfcd dir, but when I run the game it gives me'CauseWay error 01 : Unable to resize program memory block
Please press (r)eboot or (c)ontinue'When I press 'c':
**** NULL assignment detected.
I did follow the instructions,
now one thing I noticed, on the CauseWay error it scanned foravailable file handles - 200
mouse - found
windows - not present
available memory - whatever that was^as it shows, windows wasn't found, so in my despair I thought alright. I'll install DOSbox on Wine instead and see how that works.
Well it didn't like that at all.
Simply won't accept the install directory.
Now I got a few replies as one can see,
one saying it seems it can't do the -freesize 1000 (which is neccesary for the game to run?) and a few saying they never got it to work, they gave up. So I hope someone can help me here, it's pissing me off.
