Greetings & Happy New Year,
I need MS 98 for some business issues, and I wondering what the best app is now for us folks running SuSE 7.0 ? I read that at
http://www.linuxworld.com/lw-2000-12/lw-12-penguin_2.html
and wonder if any SuSE 7.0 users have gotten Win4Lin to run under SuSE 7.0
Netraverse has not patched the SuSE 7.0 Kernel for Win4Lin. This also stands for most of the new distributions not using a generic kernel. I beleive youneed to install a generic kernel to get it to work. Check there mailing list as I know some answers have been posted. Unfortunately I don't have access to my main E-Mail archive at the moment.
I have Win4Lin running under 6.4 after some manual jiggery-pokery on the kernel patch as Win4Lin only supports SuSE kernels up to 6.3. Applying the patch by hand may be daunting to non-programmers, but I haven't been one of those for nearly 25 years.
Unfortunately, Win4Lin appears to have a conflict with pgp; /usr/bin/charconv. I had to remove PGP prior to installing Win4Lin, and after the Win4Lin setup re-installed PGP which seemed to work -- until I tried to generate some keys.
I now have the "choice" of doing without one of the packages.
Their tech support has tried to help, including a suggestion to obtain an earlier build of PGP which doesn't appear to conflict.
Now that I've tried it again, PGP seems to have "fixed itself". That's really strange. Haven't rebooted or made any system changes since the tests last year. -- /"\ Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning, Perth, Western Australia \ / ASCII ribbon campaign | I'm a .signature virus! | X against HTML mail | Copy me into your ~/.signature| / \ and postings | to help me spread! |

i would like to run win4lin únder suse 7.0 what have i to do? i know that it officially does NOT support s7.0 but since you have made it with 6.4 I thought I'd dare to try.... ;-)

It's the year after die y2k bug, see????? :-)
After trying to dink with win4lin for awhile, I settled on VMware Express. Works excellent. I'd still like to see win4lin keep up with SuSE distro's but they are a small company right now. On Sat, 20 Jan 2001, Oliver Ob wrote:

Can someone please give an overview on how these two subsystems compare? I mean, what does Win4lin offer, that vmware does not (yet)have and vice versa. O

hopefully a lower price, quite frankley vmware is just too expensive. scsijon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Oliver Ob" <ob_ok@gmx.net> To: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: Friday, April 13, 2001 1:21 PM Subject: [SLE] [VMWARE] Compare win4lin:Vmware 2ndtry

O Hello, Although I too, haven't been able to get Win4Lin going (SuSE7.1), I have used VMware for some time, and it's advantages are quite clear. For starters, you get sound and DGA. Also, the ability to create VM's to run many different OS's (except BeOS ;-( ). VM's can also be created to run on raw discs. I have even used it in the past to run a firewall program I have and act as an internet server for our micro-LAN .....although having a virtual machine running all the time can be awkward. VMware is a great way to try out new versions of our beloved OS, before committing disc space or wiping an existing setup. Oh, and now, my mouse even scrolls in Win98VM. It is a cool program. BTW, another alternative which I have been playing with lately, is Cygwin/XFree86. Unfortunately, it is under the auspices of RH, so I will say no more here. I have used it to run a VM remotely.....cool. Cya, Tom -- TRBishop tb64710@alltel.net RLU #12043 SuSE 7.1 PRO
