Sorry, this reply has been sitting in my drafts for too long.
Why a flash-drive version, out of curiosity? I'm also not sure that
Dosemu was installed by default in my 7.10 Ubuntu; I seem to remember
installing it with aptitude, and it's part of the Multiverse component.
On the other hand, installing it with aptitude is a cinch. Can't
remember if Dosemu was installed by default in SuSe; doubt it.

As for a Dosemu/Xywrite that was as functional as possible,
I'd certainly like that, and would do what I could. I'm still not fully
transitioned to Ubuntu, and may never be, if only because of TurboTax.
