Thanks for helpful article. I was not able to get anywhere with DOSBox on my Ubuntu Linux 18.04, until I read your article. Now I'm at the point where I can run DOSBox and start to install games. I say "start to install" because my up and down arrows (nor the old hjkl buttons) work when selecting the install configuration options. But progress!

This is coming from a user with Linux beta on a Chromebook that is trying to install a game and run it off of DOSBox from gog.com. When I run the "sudo apt-get install dosbox" it says:

dosbox is already the newest version (0.74-2-3+deb10u1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 22 not upgraded.

and I can't find the file to unzip and install it. any pointers?
