Re: [Cooker] Mount points for hda1 hda2 etc.....
So downloading the kdebase subdir from any mirror will work? On another note: I kinda messed up my rpm tool.. I think I switched the place it pointed to. and now cannot find the installed / new packages anywhere tried pointing to the cdrom, etc... but blank screen... doh! What does rpm -U do?

They are very different things: - vmware is a virtual PC machine; on it you can run any OS for PC: Windows (any windows), Linux, SCO, *BSD, MS-DOS,... - Wine is an implementation of the Win16 & Win32 API for Unix; allowing to recompile Win16 & Win32 programs and run them natively on most Unices. It is also (and that is the most used due to the lack of sources of Windows programs) an implementation fo the Win16 & Win32 ABI (Applications Binary Interface), allowing to run, on PC's Unices, Win16 and Win32 programs. That is similar to what iBCS provides for other Unices to be run on Linux. The advantage of VmWare is that it is another PC; so you can isntall on it and it will run; no problem. It's disadvantages is that is still a separate thing, not integrated with the rest of your system (you simply avoid having yet another machine on your desktop; and you can easily do screenshots of boot time). The advantages of Wine is that it allows a quite good integration with your system; and it would be possible in the future to go even further (like better dra'n'drop with Gnome/KDE; sharing of colours and look and feel with them etc). It's also a liberty program. It's disadvantages are it is far from finished (and Microsoft doesn't help at all). -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.ping.be/~pin19314/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975

Hello! --- stephen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit: > > sorry, my opinion, nothing against wine, get vmware and do it > properly. > memo: must try vmware on a box You mean that you are recommending a software that you have yet to use? I've installed it on Oxygen (I actually have a license that costed me 75$US back in july 1999) and countless other distrib before it. Its really quality software in the sense that it is user friendly and install everytime without problems. The engineering is nice too. But there's no hiding that Win'98 is still too slow on my dual Celeron with 128mb RAM... The problem seems to lie in disk accesses... The other emulated subsystems are pretty fast according to benchmarks. One other big disavantage is that you need a Windows license too (except if you're a pirate of course! ;-) ). I'm guessing that the performance you get from Wine are superior - the problem being that it does not support the whole API. We're not helping by using proprietary and closed software that's for sure! So I wouldn't spread the word that VMWARE is the solution to all problems in Linux (lack of Office software, lack of great games) because it isn't. bye, = Ricky Ng-Adam Capitaine du projet S.O.N.I.A.

Re: [Cooker] Mount points for hda1 hda2 etc.....
well, I know nothing of either... but I thought you needed to $$$ for vmware? no? either way I'd still hate to be "beaten" by wine. what advantage is vmware over wine? and why the heck can't I config it? doh! things like this... make lesser users run and hide... hehehe Lou G.

Re: [Cooker] Mount points for hda1 hda2 etc.....
Uh.. at the risk of sounding. well.. dumb.. How, er. exactly? (And what exactly is that?) Doh! [hides head due to extreme lameness] I've tried using the update tool. but none of the mirrors listed seem to have any files available. at least the USA ones. Am I doing something wrong here? doh!

[Cooker] Mount points for hda1 hda2 etc.....
Hi, In Mandrake 6.1 after install. I had automatic access to my C: under /win98 (the dos volume label) In Oxygen. there are shortcuts on my desk... for DOS_hda1 and DOS_hda2 which are mounted under the mnt directory I tried to set a different mount point using linuxconf.. but i've only succeeded in creating problems with those directories and shortcuts! The worst part... now i have FOUR shortcuts on my desktop! Yep, KDE didn't like mine, so it built new ones! DOH! Things like this make it hard for us M$ lamers to convert whole heartedly to Linux. How do I manage to fix this? My reason for asking I'm trying to run wine but the win-config file (after being chmod'ed to executable!) told me it can't find my c: .. which i think is kinda odd.. Help? Lou Guerriero [EMAIL PROTECTED]
