My system is running mystic/mis as a normal non root user (mystic).
Mis is started automaticaly (not as a deamon) when the GUI (Fluxbox
on Centos) comes up. I also have 5 Dos based doors running via dosemu.

There is nothing to document, that isn't already in the document.Except you know, the multiple systems who are doing what you con say isn't possible and have been for a while... :)
Nothing has changed in the way you should execute MIS.
It works on my 3 systems, Gryphon has came up and said it works for him, and I know several others are running as non-root too. Just because you can't get it working doesn't mean its broken.
My going rate is $180-240/hr so if you want to pay me that rate which other companies pay, I'll give you plenty of attention. Until then y can go fuck yourself.
I'd like to state for the record: I am not a sock puppet of reapern66. Thank you.
let me remind you that last time you told me someone got mis working with dosemu. i have more then good reason, because it was impossible, and
since you deleted all the threads their really is not a point in me
saying anything on source forge since it didnt support pty. you dont
mind if i stand up for myself do you, i mean i even want to donate to
your cause and you wouldnt even accept it.
thats great dude. so you know i also have mis working non root on an
older distro and anther one. for whatever reason debian 5 and mis
wouldnt run dos binary.
What's so exquisite about my Archlinux install? There's not much to it, really. It's my Gentoo running my current hub system that's ridiculous,
I don't know I thought ArchLinux was just a lot of manual
installation, which is something I don't have the desire to mess with right now! :)
Maybe during initial install there's some manual configuration, but it doesn't really take any longer than installing Windows or Ubuntu
timewise. It's just more of a text based installation rather than a GUI one.

How is the package management?
Wait. WTF? Weren't you just the person who came out of nowhere and
said it doesn't work? And now all of the sudden you have it working on multiple systems?
P.S. If bbslogin is using chroot, doesn't that means its running as root not a BBS user like you keep claiming?

I report this a long time ago, mis cannot run as bbs user, mis has to
run has root for now to get rid of that error. i think mis shouldn't
need to be run as root and long as it shares the same permissions as the bbs. in addition it should be able to run dos with a chroot like
bbslogin does if i understood that part correctly.

Stand up for yourself? No one was even talking to you; you just chimed
in and started saying how nothing works and complaining about
The "last time" I also sent you screenshots of it working in your own distro, and you still claim it was impossible... LOL
You did this same shit with archivers. Claiming that they're broken all while refusing to stop using these trainwreck scripts from 1999 instead
of the recommended settings.
5+ systems have now been mentioned here as having it working, and a 6th who is at least trying to determine if there is a Mystic issue or not instead of acting like a dick and spreading false information.
My going rate is $180-240/hr so if you want to pay me that rate other companies pay, I'll give you plenty of attention. Until can go fuck yourself.

LOL! Yeah, thats pretty awesome when quoted out of context!
... Also, you might need to get laid if that is what you were thinking of when you saw two guys talking about BBS support... ;)
Awesome. It's a command line binary package manager (pacman). So no
source to watch compile for hours while trying to setup a system. :)
It's basically like Debian, except in my opinion, awesomerererer.
Hello ignatius,
I'm not sure what's going on there, but if the BBS user is trying to
start dosemu, it SHOULD be trying to create /home/bbs/.dosemu rather
than /root/.dosemu.
Did you by chance mess with dosemu.conf at all? This really seems like a permissions issue.

I'm sold! I'll have to give it a chance sometime.
Right now I am using Ubuntu 14, having recently switched from Mint
Linux 13. I usually pick whatever I can find that has the packages I
want, so I have little to no code compiling.
I switched to Ubuntu because it had SDL2 at the time, when most others didn't.
ign and I spoke about it on IRC to try ot figure out what was going
on. Turns out it's actually an openSUSE specific kind of issue where
they default sudo to always_set_home, so by him running sudo as his
bbs user to run mis to get root to bind, $HOME would change to /root instead of remaining where it was.
That was one of a few problems anyway. :)
Did I read in another message from you that your using a chroot enviroment?
Have you tryed outside of the chroot enviroment?

root to do anything (since using root is shunned upon and super duper
evil according to some). So now when you use sudo it defaults to your
root directory anyways? Pfft. That's why I never use sudo. If I need
root, I'll su to it. If not, I'll stay as a regular user. :)
The main difference with Archlinux is that after you install, you have a barebones command line system with a package manager. After that, you
add what YOU want, not what they think you want. :)
I may have to give Arch a shot! That sounds easy to deal with. I'm
used to Ubuntu as that has pretty much been all I have used. I have messed around with Fedora (2, 3 and 4) as well as Mandrake (Mandriva
now) and Suse.
I even tried to build a Gentoo system several years ago and got it going...but never finished it.

very interesting... does it also tell you what package to install when
the command you type isn't available?
The list goes on.. But it's short and sweet and to the point. I don't
have anything on here that's not being used. :)
As long as it works as good as you make it sound, it sounds perfect!
I may even try it first on my Raspberry Pi B+ which is still sitting
in its box waiting for me to figure out HTF to use it lol.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean there, but you can use the package manager to search for anything you're looking for as well as a complete listing on their site, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/
