I am trying to move my BBS from Windows to Linux but I am having problems. In Linux, I try to run Mystic in DOSBox, which is necessary I guess, but it keeps giving me the error "Cannot run program in DOS mode." So what the heck?

I thoght Mystic was a DOS program. Not even the installer will work in DOSBox. Maybe I have it set up wrong or something? I'm stumped. How can I install Mystic on my Linux computer? I want to install the 32-bit version of Mystic on Linux so that I can run more door games.

I've partitioned my hard drive so that I have a 64-bit Windows installation and a 32-bit Linux installation and trying to run Mystic on my Linux partition. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

There are Linux native versions of Mystic; http://mysticbbs.com/downloads/mys112a47_l32.rar http://mysticbbs.com/downloads/mys112a47_l64.rar http://mysticbbs.com/downloads/mys112a47_p32.zip

Those will allow you to run in Linux 32bit, Linux 64bit or Linux Raspberry Pi 32bit environments perfectly.

If you have a complete Windows Mystic setup you'll just have to modify paths, and any other system-environment issues with directories, paths, etc updated to Linux-native syntax's.

:P

Also make sure permissions are setup properly.. That was a section that screwed me up when I first went from Windows to Linux.. Check the Wiki also there is a very good write up on how to do this..

Haha, well that explains it. I was trying to run a 32-bit Windows version of Mystic when I should be running a version made for Linux. Thank you.

Mystic for windows is a windows program. Mystic for linux is a linux program. There is no Mystic for dos.

So you are trying to run a Mystic Windows 32bit version in a 16bit Dosbox on a 64bit Linux machine .... hmmm sorry, 32bit Linux, just kidding ;)

Mystic has linux binaries also, use those, as they're native to linux.

So you are trying to run a Mystic Windows 32bit version in a 16bit
Dosbox on a 64bit Linux machine .... hmmm sorry, 32bit Linux, just

Not exactly. I am running 32-bit Linux. Just trying to get Mystic installed on Linux now. I want to run 32-bit because it's such a pain to get doors to work otherwise.

... My software never has bugs. It just develops random features...

Yes, I got them. Thanks.
