Very easy: www.win4lin.com. It will forward you to www.netraverse.com. Please keep me informed of the result! Patrick
VMware 2.x is a lot faster that 1.x ever was, but still requires a RAM, in great quantities.... I'd like to test Win4lin 3.0, but as long as they have no support 2.4.x, it's out of the question. Tried installing it yesterday on Suse 7.1 box with no luck: "unknown distro, unknown kernel, cannot install :-(" --Jyry C:-( C:-/ C========8-O C8-/ C:-( On Wed, 30 May 2001, Patriiiiiiiiiick wrote:
Jyry, I'm pretty sure that NeTraverse does have support for 2.4.X kernels, but if you've built your own kernel, then their installer doesn't recognize 'your' kernel.

There is a set of patches to the kernel source code tree that I believe you can add, such that when you do a make xconfig you get an option to enable Win4Lin support. Once this is enabled, their installer will recognize your customized kernel and do the rest of the install. (So I'm told...) I confess I've done none of this, so it may require a little homework, but I know others have done it.

Hello Patrick, Some good news for patching a kernel.org's 2.4.x kernel. I had a look at ftp://ftp.netravers.com/pub/win4lin/LatestKernels/PATCH and there they are: patches for generic 2.4.3 and 2.4.4 kernels -- placed there only on 30th May. Hey hoe, off we go.... --Jyry C:-( C:-/ C========8-O C8-/ C:-( On Thu, 31 May 2001, Mark W. Knecht wrote:
