Did you chown and chgrp the file (the dos partition image) to allow yourself access? Or, if it is a mounted partition, you have rw access to the mount point? > I know that I can 'su' first and then run it but I want to set > the process up as a script that starts the application without > user intervention i.e. having to enter a password. su is not a good idea for this sort of thing.

You started X as a user, so at this stage, only that user is authorised to connect to the X server. One easy way to get around this is to make a symbolic link from your root dir to the user's magic cookie so that root can always connect. (this is ok if only one user starts x. Look in the X docs for other alternatives). > Another slight problem is in setting up the emulator this way it > cannot be closed down using exitemu because exitemu doesn't exist > in the boot directory. I just used the boot directory that came with the package. Can you not do this and access your other files with /etc/mtools.conf? HTH Mark.
