OK, it was in XFree86-static in Mandrake 8.0.
I deleted config.cache config.log and config.h and re-ran ./configure, then
ran make, got a few warnings and compiled the program. Then I ran the
./misc/load_module.sh script and the module installed successfully.
I then cd'ed to /user and ran ./plex86 -f ../conf/tomsrtbt (no image
supplied yet and I note that it won't run as root) and got the following
error:
floppy open of ../../tomsrtbt.raw:
: No such file or directory
I assumed that it wanted an image file in the parent directory of
/plex86-kevin (where it untarred to)
Using dd, I placed an image of tomsrtbt there and plex86 ran, but:
bochs: floppy_command: attempt to read/write sector 19, sectors/track=18
so I must have a defective image (I get a LILO error message in the vm
screen). I'll try again later when I have more time, but I would call this
successful. I just thought I would document what I did in case it would be
useful to someone.
Thanks for the help
