All all, My laptop just died but i revived it by installing Linux...
I'm a total Linux newbie but have managed to get Moo 1/2 installed
When I click on the game icon it opens DosBox with a Z:/ prompt
What do I need to type to get MOO2 to run?
Please can anyone tell me exactly what to type..
Any help appreciated, Thanks GOG community!

See if THIS THREAD helps

If not say so here :)

Are you using the DosBox installed with the game or native (Linux) DosBox? You should get better performance using native DosBox, which will probably be included in your distributions package manager (what is your distro, btw?).

When you start up dosbox what you need to do is mount a particular directory/folder. Generally the easiest is the directory/folder where the game is installed. I assume you have installed the game using Wine, therefore you need to type: mount c "/home/eldrane(or whatever your user directory is called)/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/GOG.com/Master of Magic 1(or whatever the directory is)". Then type: c:. Then type in the name of the games executable, e.g.: moo.exe. For some games you may also need to mount a disc image before you run the executable (I've forgotten the exact commands).

Hope that helps, please ask me to re-write anything that is unclear.

P.S. As a guide to the above. In the directory of the game you want to play there should be a DosBox config file such as: moodosbox.conf. These contain game specific DosBox configurations GOG has set the game up with. At the very bottom of the file (under a line like: @ECHO, or something) are the commands GOG have set their DosBox instance to call when the game starts. These will not be the exact commands you will use for your own DosBox, but they can be a guide. For instance, as to whether a particular disc image needs to be mounted for the game to play properly (it will also give you the proper commands to do this).

Find your game installation folder. Find your dosboxMoO1.conf file. Rename it dosbox.conf. Or dosboxMoO2.conf for MoO2.
Start dosbox. enter the command 'mount c <path to game directory>'. Enter the command 'c:'. Enter the command 'orion.exe' for MoO1 or 'orion2.exe' for MoO2. Enjoy. This is just one way to do it, there are a lot easier but slightly more technical ways if you read through the faq and the forum.

***Edit***

Oh I just realized you're running Linux! Real easy way if you don't want to deal with dosbox configuration or commands. Open a terminal shell, cd to game directory (directory that contains orion.exe or orion2.exe, then just enter 'dosbox orion.exe' or 'dosbox orion2.exe'

I don't remember if MOO/MOO2 have any special config in dosbox, but if you launch dosbox with the -conf option (type "dosbox -conf dosboxMoO1.conf" for example), then it apply all those config items for you. That's basically all the windows shortcuts for GOG dosbox games do anyway.

On *nix systems you may have to edit file paths in the GOG conf file - most are relative paths at least, but you still have to change any \'s for /'s.

Yeah can do it that way. Renaming it makes it use it by default as dosbox looks for the config file in the directory its executed in on linux. I've never had issues with moo with default dosbox settings regardless. Figure the op may not want to mess around with switches.

Folks I need to take a step back first..
For some reason I'm really struggling to find the "Wine" folder in Umbutu
Its driving me nuts all I can get to is the actual game icon rather than the folders containing the games files.
Could someone explain how I find the Wine folder?
Thanks
Top left on my screen I have a "Home Folder" but that doesn't get me to any games folders..

Your wine folder should be hidden in your home folder. Just go to View at the top of the window and select Show Hidden Files. It should be called .wine. Your GOG folder should be in .wine/drive_c/Program Files.

P.S. There are a number of DosBox "front ends" which are supposed to help you set up your DosBox appropriately. I have not used eny of these, however, so I don't know if they are any good: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/DOSBoxFrontends
