Harry: the mount command works like this. You decide which drive you want to use (A-Z), and then tell DosBox what it is.
Syntax is: mount [dosbox drive] [physical drive]
For instance, assume your USB is "F," and you want to make it "C" on DosBox (I'd recommend making it C, BTW). You would use this command:
mount c f:\
You would be mounting your *real* f:\ as "c" on dosbox. Then you can just type C: at the prompt (which starts off with the Z drive), and you're off and running. If you use anything else besides C, you'll have to modify your XY startup files, and it gets to be a pain.

I downloaded and installed it. Can't see how it's supposed to work. The
MOUNT part is opaque to me. Do you know how I get it to run Xy from the
flash
drive?
