The patch disagrees with some that Mandrake use, and I'm not aware of any prepackaged Mandrake+Win4Lin kernel, although that would be nice.

Re: [Cooker] win4lin and vmware
Hello I patched win4lin into a standard mandrake 7.2 kernel. No problem and it worked with vmware, I have both running on the same machine (not at the same time though).
