Re: [newbie] Wine VmWare
That's correct. With either VMWare or Win4Lin you have to install Win98 to run MSMoney. To get completely away from Windows you have to wait for Wine to mature to the point it works or scrap MSMoney and go with a Linux-based software package. - Ralph - Original Message - From: "AL" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2000 10:05 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Wine VmWare Hi, From your statement below, am I correct in assuming that I have to install Win98 (to run MSMoney) on top of VMWare?

[newbie] Wine VMWare
Greetings! I am having extreme difficulty in making Wine or VMWare work on a Mandrake 7.1. I have tried numerous options and read the man pages for both of these but no joy. I only wish to run MSMoney :-) Which of the two (if I get it working) is easier to use? And are there any Linux programs like MSMoney? Any help or link is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The Vmware website is full of info ( www.vmware.com). You may need to upgrade your version of Vmwarenot sure if 7.1 is supported, but there is a new version available. I may not get back to this right away, but list what you need and I'll help as best as I can. Tom -- TRBishop [EMAIL PROTECTED] Registered Linux User #12043
Re: [newbie] Wine VmWare
I have heard Wine is a pain but haven't used it. The Wine application DB shows reports that the latest MSMoney is not functional on Wine. I just downloaded VMWare 2.01 last night and it installs just fine on LM 7.1. I haven't finished installing Win98 yet on it. I suspended the install part way through. As soon as boot back over to Linux I'll resume it and see if it finishes. Cool stuff! There is personal financial software for Linux. Christopher Browne has a great page http://www.hex.net/~cbbrowne/financelinux.html listing lots of financial software though I haven't played with any yet. The two that look most promising to me are GNUCash and Money Dance (under the Other Personal Finance Software link).

Re: [newbie] Wine VmWare
Aljust my personal opinion, but I think that the program available at the below URL is a better alternative than messing around with trying to get M$Money functional on a Linux machine. http://moneydance.net/ Alan Al wrote: Greetings!

Re: [newbie] Wine VmWare
VMWare resumed the Win98 install just fine and it completed with no problems though its a little slow but very usable. I've got a Celeron 500 with 192 MB. I also installed LM 7.1 into another VM and it works great too. It'll give me a chance to fool around with patching the kernel to try and get Win4Lin running on LM 7.1 without hosing my base install of LM 7.1. Supposedly Win4Lin will run Windows on Linux a lot faster than VMWare. All in all VMWare is a very cool program. Even if I get Win4Lin working I'll keep VMWare around for testing new distro's, kernel patching, etc. - Ralph - Original Message - From: "Ralph Day" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2000 7:05 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Wine VmWare I have heard Wine is a pain but haven't used it.

Re: [newbie] Wine VmWare
Hi, The data contained in my MSMoney file goes back 4 years and are very important to me. I just hope MoneyDance has an import utility fot my data. Thank you for your help!
