Hello, I'm trying to install a game which requires 235MB of disk space to install properly. Now as you probably guessed my physical disk has probably around 30GB of free disk space, which is plenty of course; however, DOSBox only ever reports that there are 110MB of free disk space regardless of how much stuff there is on the disk. For example, if you have 50MB of stuff on the disk, and have 110MB free, then you install a 50MB game, it will change to having 100MB used but still 110MB free. My dilemma is that I can't install the game unless DOSBox says that it has more space.

Anyway, is there a way to change the amount of disk space which DOSBox reports to install programs?

Oh! Please pardon my ignorance; yes, it is indeed there! Forgive me for breaking the number one rule. 😳

You simple have to mount the drive with the option " -freesize [size]"

For example, "mount C C:\dosgames -freesize 250" would make it have 250MB of free space.

Thank you for your time (and for making dosbox)!

BTW, nice avatar 😁
