OK, I've searched all around VOGONS and other Dosbox forums, but I can't find how to get Descent 2 running.
First of all, I'm using Kubuntu 9.04 with DOSBox 0.72.
I have a Descent 2 folder that I copied from an XP installation in ~/Games/Descent2. In DOSBox, I automatically mount ~/Games/ as the C drive, and mounted /media.cdrom0 (the drive with the descent 2 cd) as D, using "MOUNT D /media/cdrom0 -t cdrom". However, descent 2 does not recognize this as a cdrom drive.
Also, I saw in several places on this and other forums to install from the cd within DOSbox. That doesn't work either: it says install.exe must be run from the cd drive (which... it is.)
I've tried running Descent 2 using WINE but it tries to load the program, then quits with no error message.
