I'm trying to get this game up and running on my linux install. I read somewhere in the forums that it runs just fine using dosbox. However, I've never actually run a game using dosbox, before. It does run just fine under windows.

I open dosbox and mount the parent directory as my C drive. Then, I type "CAPPLUS", which should launch capplus.exe. What actually happens is that I then get an error message to insert the Capitalism Plus disk into my cd drive and restart the game.

I must be making some sort of obvious newbie error, but I can't figure out what it is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I'm sorry, I didn't notice the checkbox to mark this as a question until after clicking "post my message" and it was already too late.

In the Capitalism Plus folder, there is a file called "CapPlus.gog". This file is like an iso of the original CD. The following command will mount it as drive d:

imgmount d ".\capplus.gog" -t iso -fs iso

Next to do: start playing :)
