Hmmmmmmm. That's very interesting. I did not know there was a devel team doing that. I wonder if they use the same libraries as wine or whether it is an independent package... Hey, they say that they "include(s) the first open source MS-Windows kernel API for Free operating systems". Does that mean that they're on their way to reverse engineer the windows kernel and the whole OS and launch an open source version? That would be cool. I've read nothing to that effect on slashdot, though. Have to try it out sometime on my ntfs partition. For now, I'll let sleeping dogs lie, as I keep all my mp3's movies etc in a common fat32. ________________________________________________________________________ Analabha Roy Graduate Student Department Of Physics, University of Texas, 1 University Station C1600, Austin, Texas 78712-0264, United States emails: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Home Page: http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~daneel ________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://machito.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
