I copied the cd to my harddisk and my resource.cfg looks like this:

videoDrv  = VESA.DRV
soundDrv = ADL.DRV
audioDrv = DACBLAST.DRV
joyDrv = NO
language = 49
cmd = GKCD
mouseDrv = none
memoryDrv = none
minmemory = 2M
CD = YES

I am using the default config for dosbox, where do i have to place this config?

Unfortunately, my installer won't work for him, as he is using Linux. He need to do it manually. Either install from DOSBox or copy all the files and folders and manually edit the RESOURCE.CFG to:

videoDrv = VESA.DRV
soundDrv = GENMIDI.DRV
audioDrv = DACBLAST.DRV
joyDrv = NO
audioIRQ = 7
cmd = GKCD
mouseDrv = none
memoryDrv = none
minmemory = 2M

smartdrv = YES
