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.

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!

It does very much depend, though, on which windows version you want to run, what windows file system and what apps.

VPC (Virtual PC) is a software program for Macintosh/Apple computers that creates a "virtual pc" - an emulated x86 architecture - but with Windows98 installed (although you can set it up to run almost anything x86 based); it has been very popular in the corporate environment where you had Macintosh machines that had to either run x86 compatible software, or Windows based software. VMWare is basically the same thing (and there are a few other x86 emulation packages out there - Bochs x86 is another) whereby you have an emulated "virtual" computer in a window - and can install any OS you desire within that emulated environment. Great for testing, or for "sandboxing" - for security or application/network development. 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.

Games? Office applications? With Win4Lin, you need a windows os cd, because you actually install a windows system to your linux partition. You then run "Windows" like a linux application, and the desktop, start menu, and taskbar appears at the bottom. It does a nice job doing office applications, but may be a little more than what you need. With Wine, you can run office apps from an existing windows partition, or if that isn't there, you can just install the office app by issuing the "wine" command. There is no installation of windows necessary. Codeweavers has a product called Crossover Office that can run Adobe Photoshop, MIcrosoft Office XP, Office 2000, and Office 97, Lotus Notes, and some others. It's not quite as expensive as Win4Lin, and does its job well. The best part is that it has a nice, easy to understand GUI to install programs. The free version of wine may have support for Microsoft Office, but I'm not completely sure.

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. Rather nice to be able to run heaps of different OS's (or versions thereof) - without rebooting.

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?

Wine on my laptop for a few applications that I need in the field that work in Wine. These are mostly proprietary video playback apps used in security installations. I test them first, copy a few DLL's if needed and go. I choose not to put Win4Lin on my laptop to keep booting and program loading times to a minimum.

It boots up faster than native Windows, and runs my apps perfectly. No DirectX or OpenGL so gaming is not possible. I found sharing the printer port with Linux a bit tricky to set up, so I just used Samba to network through Linux to the printer. Documentation is excellent. Installation is real easy. You just download an installer, and it will install a patched Mandrake (standard) kernel for you, and walk you through Windows installation. If you use a non standard kernel, you have to apply the patch and rebuild it yourself.

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.

The technical support from Netraverse is outstanding, and the product works well for its intended use. It will only run 9x/ME versions of Windows, has no DirectX support, acannot record audio and has no USB support (I think they are working on usb). I don't need any of the things It cannot do.

Re: [newbie] Win4Lin ready for 8.2
Mandrake has evolved significantly since 6.1. It has more features, greater performance, greater power, more support for hardware, and more software. You would be wise to install 8.1. Of course, you would be even wiser (yes, sage-like) to try out 8.2 which was just released a couple of days ago.

Re: [newbie] win4lin
I have the same setup here,and have seen this error. For what it's worth(which ain't much)..I suspect it has something to do with the kernal patch which must be downloaded from the win4lin site in order to work with 8.1 a corrupted download perhaps. I'm using win4lin ver. 3.0 btw. 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.
