Hi....
Alright, first, sorry if this has been posted prior, I searched and read through a number of pages without finding anything.
I have an old original set of 11th hour disks I'd like to try running. I installed Dosbox 0.72 onto my Ubuntu 8.04 system here at home. When I run dosbox in the terminal, I get this:
"DOSBox version 0.72
Copyright 2002-2007 DOSBox Team, published under GNU GPL.
---
CONFIG: Using default settings. Create a configfile to change them
ALSA:Can't subscribe to MIDI port (65:0) nor (17:0)
MIDI:Opened device:oss"
....and the dosbox terminal window opens and is ready for business.
I then do the following (with the 11th hour disk one in the drive):
mount c /home/~~~/dosbox/
which seems to mount my home dosbox directory as C:
I then enter:
mount d /media/ -t cdrom
which gives me dosbox access to the CDrom. I then go to D:\CDROM and see the install file go.bat.
typing go.bat results in the screen clearing, then up top giving the following output:
Welcome to the 11th Hour!
---------------------------------------
Please put Disk ONE in your CD-ROM drive
and type GO
So far so good. The last instance of typing GO has got me this far...the installer has nicely dropped me into the SYSTEM subfolder on the cd.
typing GO (for the second time) results in:
unable to open driver file for writing!
DOS/4GW Protected Mode Run-time Version 1.97

Error: unknown pixel depth, corrupt groovie2.ini file
And drops me back into CDROM\SYSTEM. I google searched it, and found a page which suggests the groove2.ini file was corrupted due to an interrupted install, yet this happened at the outset and there is no groovie2.ini file anywhere on the HDD.
......wait a minute......
Never mind.
