You can't put 'Windows permissions' on a cd. CDs use an ISO standard. I don't know much about cd burning but that is what i know. Actually what i've done was download all the mandrake rpms from an ftp, stick them on a *windows* partition, booted the install using the harddrive image, and i was all

Hmmm it really shouldn't do that. What do you consider 'locking'? Can you move the mouse? Try pressing ctrl-alt-f3 for tty3 to check what's going on. Also you can kill the X server by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace. - Original Message - From: "Harold Fulkerson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[E

Possibly, if you could emulate the compiler (using Wine or something). Natively compiling it in Linux? Hell no, better write your own. However, if you would like to port a Linux app to Windows, you could try using DJGPP -- a dos implementation of the gnu compile tools. If it's just a console
