Hi, sorry for the noob question, have only just started using DOSBox.

I have recently followed this guide on youtube to install "Kingdom O Magic" (from an ISO img)

but am stuck as to how to launch the game a second time without following the guide completely? (thus having to reinstall and restart the game each time).

Again, apologies for what is probably an easy question to answer, but have tried toying around with the commands and not achieved much.

thanks in advance

From that example

mount c d:\gamez
imgmount d d:\me\image\kom\kom_thidney.iso -t iso
C:\
cd kom
kom

Basically follow all the same steps except running install. The only thing new is changing directory which, previously, the installer did for you.

And remember that you can put these commands inside the [autoexec] section in dosbox.conf (Start->Dosbox 0.74->Options->DOSBox 0.74 Options) for convenience, so that you don't have to type these commands each and every time to start the game.
