linux over win9x
Hi Does any one know about a small linux distribution that can be run as an application on win9x (I don't mean those dists that sits on one of the win partitions and requiers reboot to start them) ? thanks, Ishai. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: linux over win9x
hi there's a big program called VMWare, it allows you to virtually boot anything bootable, as long as it's bootable enough. another "solution" is "lin4win" and another solution is simply fool installation. what is a purpose of "trying" a very limited version of OS if you want to try it ? another point: if you need something special like compiler or debugger or another utility/application, there's a full GNU utilities set for win32 - free of course, and something named cygwin or something like this. so don't play this: "I'd like to try these shoes, and I want them to be very huge and comfortable from inside and little and compact from outside" it just doesn't work :-) simply backup data, repartition and install a full on distribution.

If you are used to other unix systems, you may find cygwin very like linux, as it uses GNU tools as well. It works quite well. It includes many useful programs: gcc, bash, tcsh, and most of the other useful command-line utilities. XFree can be installed seperately (and is a bit of a pain to install). And you'll also have to install some desktop: either download kde 1.1.2, or build yourself one (fvwm and icewm should compile out-of-the-tarball). Keep in mind that the default win98 console is really bad (slow, lacks a scrolled buffer, lacks a decent copy-n-paste). Use rxvt instead (it is a stand-alone when not under X) > > here is the web site link: http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ or http://cygwin.com/ There is also something called LINE (the origin of the name is WINE).

Well, sometimes it's nice to try out something before you commit to it (with
disk space and time).
For example, after mentioning in a previous post that long ago my favorite
editor was "sam", I decided it's about time I gave Plan 9
(http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/) at try ("sam" is plan 9's official
editor, or at least one of them). But after looking at their homepage, I
decided to postpone it to another time when I'll have more energy - because
it will require downloading tons of stuff, having a clean partition, and
I'll have to boot into plan 9 where in all likelyhood my modem wouldn't work,
and who knows what else isn't supported - and then I can't even log in to
check the web for help...
Does that remind you of anything? Yeah, that's what most Windows users
feel when you suggest to them they should try Linux...
Just giving plan 9 a test drive would have been easier if I could just
run a plan 9 kernel (and other stuff) in a Linux window.
By the way, the even better alternative is logging into someone else's plan
9 machine and running (text) stuff from there - but since I know no such
person, this option is out of the question too.

Ishai, on my homble opinion: I founded that installing on VMware is great to test different kind of installation where you want to play with different hardware. you can run multiple virtuals machines in one PC and save a lot of money. you can build all kind of networks, I found vmware as a great solution for research. after you feel confortable with the new operating system, do the switch. > - Original Message - > From: "Max Kovgan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Ishai Parasol" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: "Linux - IL Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 8:35 PM > Subject: Re: linux over win9x > > > > hi there's a big program called VMWare, it allows you to virtually boot > > anything bootable, as long as it's bootable enough. > > another "solution" is "lin4win" and another solution is simply fool > > installation. > > > > what is a purpose of "trying" a very limited version of OS if you want to > > try it ? > > another point: if you need something special like compiler or > > debugger or another utility/application, there's a full GNU utilities set > > for win32 - free of course, and something named cygwin or something like > > this. > > > > so don't play this: > > "I'd like to try these shoes, and I want them to be very huge and > > comfortable from inside and little and compact from outside" > > it just doesn't work :-) > > simply backup data, repartition and install a full on distribution. > > > > Max. > > > > -=O0~O0=- > >"He took his vorpal sword in hand: > > Long time the manxome foe he sought - > > So rested he by the Tumtum tree. > > And stood awhile in thought." > > > > [L.Carrol "Jabberwacky"] > > > > On Wed, 28 Nov 2001, Ishai Parasol wrote: > > > > > Hi > > > > > > Does any one know about a small linux distribution that can be run as an > > > application on win9x (I don't mean those dists that sits on one of the > win > > > partitions and requiers reboot to start them) ? > > > > > > thanks, > > > Ishai. > > > > > > > > > = > > > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > > > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > > > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > > > = > > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: linux over win9x
exactly what tzafrir said. if i am not mistaken its a umsdos or something like that. I believe the man asked how to run linux without repartitioning. another solution as you suggested is to use VMware, but i guess he don't want to pay for something like that if he uses win98 and he can simply boot to linux. * - * - * Tzahi Fadida [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax (+1 Outside the US) 240-597-3213 * - * - * - * - * - * -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of ami bizamcher Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 9:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: linux over win9x At 21:01 28/11/01 +0200, you wrote: >hi guys, >You misunderstood this guy.
