Subj : Linux and DOS Doors

Been running a Win32 version of Mystic for about 45 days now and have got a
lot of things sorted out, but there are limits to what I can do running on a
32-bit version of Windows 2008 Server.

I've been experimenting with Linux and I have a fully functional version of
Mystic 64-Bit running on an Ubuntu 20.04 version of linux in a VM.  I am
however stuck on getting doors running and if I am going to move things to
Linux I need to find a solution.

When I launch doors I get the following error, I have fooled around with
permissions but have not come up with a solution as of yet. 

mkdir: cannot create directory /root permission denied
can't create local /root/.dosemu directory
can't create local /root/.dosemu/run directory
can't open "/root/.dosemu/boot.log" for writing

I am aware of door servers and whatnot that I could either push traffic to or
create my own Windows door server.  I have one installed, and have played
with it - but that's really not the way I want to do this.

Has anybody encountered this before?
