Once again, if you want the developers to help you, your best bet is to
tell the developers:  post where they're most likely to see it, which
is in flightgear-devel, rather than flightgear-users.  Developers do
come here, but not in as great numbers, and they're less likely to read
everything (particularly something buried deep in an existing thread
like this one).

When you post there, provide useful information.  This:

> HDD, Win 98SE/(*nix) dual boot PC sorted with Santa :-)

is all useful information, but this

> I can't get FGv099 working 

isn't.  You need to tell people exactly what the problem is, in detail.
How does it fail?  What do you try to do, and what happens?  Otherwise,
the developers won't be able to reproduce the problem; and without
being able to reproduce it, it's nearly impossible to fix, since it
could be anything.

If you can, *please* take a look at:

It is an absolutely fabulous (and not *too* long) essay on how to
report bugs -- how to give the developers what they need to solve
the problem.
