myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: dos emulator
I did this:
Apt-get install dosemu
then downloaded freedos from debian.org (only unstable and testing are available)
Installation (dpkg -i) went without errors...
BUT
a "simple" diskcopy msdos-program like diskcopyfast will freeze the terminal (and so will pqmagic and ghost)

Looks like there is a lot more possible!!
I got this to work with just extracting. There are two program files. One is to open in bash (dosemu) and another to open in x (xdosemu). When executing xdosemu, I can run games.
I would recommend dosbox. It works great for playing old dosgames (which can be downloaded for free at abandonia.com and other places) and other dos-programs. Really easy to use, and is available via apt-get if you run hd-install.

Was anyone able to get the vga fonts to install? I had no luck with this, and some of the text is gibberish without it. I read you need mkfontdir, but that doesn't seem to exist.
EDIT:
load gnu-utils.dsl
copy the *.gz fonts to the X fonts/misc directory
sudo update-fonts-dir misc
