I have the game Privateer with the original disk. I am trying to mount my cdrom and have followed all the instructions when you type "intro cdrom" at the z:/c: prompt. Dosbox keeps giving me an error when I try to access the cdrom drive. Also I tried to copy the game files into the /dosprog folder and Dosbox just hangs up if I try to install from that file. I am running Dosbox ver 0.72 on my Ubuntu operating system with these problems, however my desktop at home running XP with Dosbox ver. 0.73 runs fine. Trying to get a little help here, desperately want to play all these old games on my laptop. Thanks I'm having a hard time with the version of Dosbox I am running.
