In case you're really wondering, check here:

http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html

If you're running a Debian-compatible Linux distro, then just download the package, and give the command "dpkg -i dosbox_0.63-2_i386.deb " in the directory with the package in it. You'll need root/super user access. dpkg will complain if you're missing any library dependencies.

Incidentally, I normally run DosBox on XP, and I'm a Linux noob (in training 😉 . The package installed itself perfectly on Ubuntu, and synaptic even mentioned that there was an update available at the repository.

Very nice software, good work! 😀

Debian 'Woody' was the last stable release. The current release is called 'Sarge', the next release will be called 'Etch'. They are just codenames to remeber the version.

Woody is ancient now. It was released 3+ years ago. Everyone should be running Sarge these days.

I am running XP and I am using the Windows version of DOSBox. I don't use Linux so thanks for the info concerning the Debian Woody Package (sounds pornographic).
