Re: [newbie] Linux4Win - never again
Windows is a perfect moron system. As long as they stay away from the drives and dont install anything, there isn't much that they can destroy. Linux is faster, cheaper, uses less memory etc. But it needs someone who is able to maintain it. - Original Message - From: Abe [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2000 12:39 AM Subject: RE: [newbie] Linux4Win - never again win98 is the best damn over glorified nintendo I have encountered yet.

Re: [newbie] Linux4Win - never again
well if you have windows which i do i recomend chucking linux4win because it hogs too much space and operation just sucks, i reinstalled my mandrake 7.1 using the automatic install and it runs great except for the window sizing, not sure why though
Re: [newbie] Linux4Win - never again
Installed 7.1 using NT 4 in a dual boot setup everything worked fine except for Winmodem...Changed modem to a 28800 sportster now works great. - Original Message - From: Veikko Mäkinen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 2:28 PM Subject: [newbie] Linux4Win - never again I downloaded Mandrake 7.1 yesterday, burned a cd and just (4 hours ago) tried to install Linux 4 Windows...

Re: [newbie] Linux4Win - never again
I didn't have the same experience, but i thought It was very slow. It also limits the number of packages you can install. I believe it has a 1GB limit. Better off Dual booting.

Re: [newbie] Linux4Win - never again
I didnt like the linux4win because i thought it was really hard to play with the kernal, i didnt really understand the different ways. I think it is much better to just repartition your drive or even go out and buy a small 5 gigger or somthing. Im runing mandrake 7.1 on a 4 gig drive with 98 on a 10. I wish I could switch that around but I havnt been able to get all the corel software for linux, and it sucks up all my space on my 10. Let lilo do the booting and forget the linux4win for now. Maybe in the future... PS. If you are like me you love to tweak with windoze ini files and have to reinstall windwos once a month. If you use linux4win all your information is lost when you reinstall windoze by what i understand. ~Lance
