Hi.

Im on Debian Linux, and I cant change to C. I typed mount c /home, and it said that it is mounted now, but when I typed in cd c:, it stayed at Z:\.

One thing, Im on xorg, and the : key wasnt working, and after a quick search, it looks like dosbox has problems with xorg, so I ended up getting the colon in by holding down ALT and typing on the number pad 058. Would that have anything to do with it?

Thanks for looking.

Yeah, CD is just for changing directory, not drive.

Try setting "usescancodes=true" in your config file.
