Hey Nicholas!

 NB> I just upgraded my Gentoo kernel to 3.17.7-gentoo i686 and my door 
 NB> games under dosemu are still working fine. They were also working 
 NB> just fine when I was running 3.16.5 prior to that.

Yes but are you compiling dosemu or running a precompiled statically linked
dosemu?

 NB> Is it possible this is a 64bit issue? I don't have a 64bit Gentoo 
 NB> VM to test it on, nor do I care to set one up.. :)

I have one 32-bit machine currently working (no gentoo on there either), with
i486-pc-linux-gnu, I could test compile a dosemu on.  I seriously doubt it will
compile on the current x86_64-atom-linux-gnu or even an
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu for that matter.  I am willing to try though given
that it doesn't matter if it doesn't work.  Might be something worth checking
though, although I seriously doubt it.  ;-)

 NB> What? I didn't catch anything about the fact that he was missing 
 NB> python. Though he may have upgraded to python 3.3 or 3.4 which 
 NB> might have caused issues, but I doubt it.

It's in his original message.  No python got installed for some strange reason.

 NB> CDRW? Heh, at LEAST step up to a DVD or BluRay burner. :)

None of those either.  I used to have a DVD burner way back when but never
really used it or even cared much about it.  I traded it for something which I
don't recall now.  Obviously I don't miss it any.

Life is good,
Maurice
