[newbie] win4lin
Hello, Since I can not watch dvds on my laptop ( and I tried...) and I need Asymetrix Toolbook to create educational material. How can I install win 98 ( I have the cd for it) on my machine who is completely dedicated to MDK 10.1 community. I saw a win4lin kernel, what is the purpose of it? Is it easy to install windows under MDK when you have one 60 GB HD on a acer Aspire 1680 notebook? I'm sorry to do that but I have to work too :-D ...from time to time!

Of course it depends whether you have the time to troubleshoot your problem. and I need Asymetrix Toolbook to create educational material. I don't know the program, so I don't know whether it can be run under wine (free). Win4Lin will definitely run it if it runs under Win98. Check out netraverse.com for more details. You need the 5.1 version. How can I install win 98 ( I have the cd for it) on my machine who is completely dedicated to MDK 10.1 community. I saw a win4lin kernel, what is the purpose of it? Is it easy to install windows under MDK when you have one 60 GB HD on a acer Aspire 1680 notebook? I'm about to do an install on my desktop machine. The only problem I see is in matching the kernel you are running. Downloading the Win4Lin installer will check whether your kernel is one that they directly support. If it isn't you will have to look at other possibilities (that's what I have to do today). Once you are over that hurdle, installing the windows distro is easy. Configuration is easy enough if you read the docs. It certainly makes life easier if you have apps you need - but it is not free, although I don't think it's extortionate, considering what software for windows normally costs. I'm sorry to do that but I have to work too :-D ...from time to time!

Thank you Christophe Cristophe, Take into account that: if MDK doesn't see your DVD drive then win4lin will not see it either!! Your best bet is to get your DVD working or...install Windows on it's own partition and double-boot. Adding windows is no big deal except that it'll(windows) want to use your first partitionwhich is prolly taken by Linux. Tell us what's wrong with your DVD player i.e. exactly what you think is not working so we can help you fix it. AFAIK acers don't have very exotic DVD-players so we should get it working and that way it'll work on win4lin too.

If you are currently running kernel 2.6.3-7mdk from community, there is a kernel-win4lin-2.6.3-7mdk that matches it in cooker contrib. It uses the same modules that the main kernel uses, so it is a small download (about 1.5MB), and it has menu icons and some other scripts to get it installed properly, so it is the best one to use.

I'll email the maintainer tos find out why. I also just noticed that this is the package you found, and yes it is the one to use. make sure you match the pacake to your kernel, in other words the package you reference matches kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm -- /g Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I used to use VPC on my iBook (when I had an iBook) so that I could do all my network administration tasks, along with run every bit of MS software that I had to run; so the iBook became literally completely cross-platform. So Win4Lin is like VPC for Win? Basically. It can't run linux inside of windows like VPC can, and the core code is different. AFAIK, It does the same thing. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[newbie] Win4Lin vs. Wine vs. VMWare
I guess I don't understand why you would choose one of these over the other. I am familiar with VMWare, and that seems to make the most sense if you need to run a particular Windows (or other OS) application within Linux. I know it is a virtual machine and will let you connect back to the primary host OS via the network and share ports. In the conversation about Win4Lin it sounded as if that worked in a very similar way. I only know that Wine and Win4Lin are supposed to provide a way to run Windows applications within Linux, but I was wondering why you might choose one of these three particular products over another. I am probably going to invest in one of them (most likely VMWare) but i would like to understand the differences before I make a decision.

Thanks, B Wine is a compatibility layer that allows one to run Windows programs in Linux. Wine is free software and is not 100% compatible or functional at this point. In other words, try it, but YMMV. Win4Lin is a set of extensions that allows Windows itself to run as a Linux process. Because of the way it is architected, it can only run the 9x/ME versions of Windows. Cost is $79/user and can run in both local and terminal server It also requires a kernel patch that enables the service. Netraverse provides pre-compiled kernels for most distros though and installs them automatically. VMWare creates a virtual machine that allows you to run any guest operating system in a host OS. Can run pretty much any OS on Linux or Windows and costs about $300. VMware requires a specialized kernel module, but I do not believe that the kernel itself needs to be patched. In my mind, the most cost effective sure thing is Win4Lin, assuming one does not have to run one of the NT flavors of Windows. I believe that VMWare is really aimed at the developer market so that applications can be easily tested for compatibility on different Operating Systems. -- Greg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'd tend to say that for HOME users, Win4Lin might be an option worth exploring - for me, however, especially being in the support/consulting trade, I NEED to run VMWare as I support all OS's - so in working with particular issues, or testing particular situations, it's better for me to be able to actually run the REAL OS in a virtual machine - so cost is made up by usage.

Re: [newbie] Win4Lin
I use Win4Lin every day, simply because I have to run some Windows programs for work -- mainly Photoshop and a few legacy apps that don't work with Wine. It is, in my opinion, an ideal solution in this case. The only limitations I have experienced are its lack of USB support (in my case for a printer that I simply accessed as a network printer) and that it is limited to Win 9x. I have to devote another machine for Win2K for the rare circumstance where Win98 won't do what I need but that is not often and your situation may differ. Other than that, it is easy to install, crashes less than a 'normal' installation of Windows (read not at all, because it is running inside of Linux), and makes sharing files between partitions a breeze. It is worth the $ I paid for it. You could be giving that money to Microsoft instead -- think about it.

My personel fix for this was to uninstall win4lin and go again,I may have re-installed 8.1 as well somewhere down in the process but I'd suspect that the 8.1 install is probably ok. Lee Hi, I've been installing Win4lin from the powerpack cd's. (I have LM 8.1) In second stage install , booting the win4lin kernel , the computer hangs, gives A kernel panic or reboot by itself at the end of A boot over and over again. I suspect it has something to do with the Ext3 filesystem I have. Could I be right here? Are there any win4lin users that have filesystems other than Ext2?

[newbie] Win4Lin and nVidia drivers
Any of you who use Win4Lin and have nVidia cards probably noticed that you could never boot to the Win4Lin-patched kernel AND play 3D accelerated games. Well that's finally changed. The drivers that nVidia released a few days now give you the best of both worlds! Get 'em if you haven't already! Miark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] win4lin and mandrake 7.2
i downlaoded and installed win4lin - howvever, after stage one of the install was completed and the win4lin kernel patch was installed i rebooted and continued with stage 2 (instalation of windows). but when the win4lin installer tries to access the windows install cd to do so it says could not mount cdrom /dev/cdrom if i try to mount the cdrom as root it gives me the message the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device (maybe 'insmod driver'?) if, under lilo, i boot into the old, unpatched, linux the cdrom is fine so i am assuming the kernel patch messed with something? what can i do to be able to access the cdrom under the win4lin kernel so i can finish the install??? thanks a bucnh in advance, matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?
