dvd automount cd-drive dosbox

With DosBox open, type:

config -writeconf /home/user/dosbox.conf (or whatever) then exit Dosbox.

Open dosbox.conf and add (the [autoexec] is at the bottom):

[autoexec] 

mount c /home/user/path/to/folder

I assume you can do the same for just about any command, it seems to be basically a batch file that is ran at launch.

My Launchpad Profile My deviant Art Page I am Scottish and I live in Hungary, there was this girl.... you know the rest. As far as me and Ubuntu are concerned I found it about when 9.04 came out I was still using Xp at the time I had a lot of difficulty's getting it working on my system at the time (I admit it I gave up) But a seed was planted. Little did I know that in 6 months that seed would turn in to a tree just in time for a Koala to sit in it (talk about milking the metaphor). At the time I had Vista on a laptop which managed to kill the hard disk (no proof just a hunch). But the difference in performance and stability was awesome (dude) and I have been using Ubuntu and other flavours of Linux since. I believe we have only scratched the surface of what is possible, the future is bright the future is a penguin? One thing I will always remember is Ubuntu and what the word means, Learn it Live it.

I have had a look at the community documentation here and there doesn't seem to be any information about how to "Automount" a folder as the C: drive in Dosbox.

Also as a bonus is it possible to automount the cd/dvd drive in the same way?
