<p>mmm.... It looks like they went the Corel WPO2000 route and put their WinXX app on top of WINE. They also claim that they have "given back" to the OSS movement by contributed significantly to the WINE development. IF these contributions to WINE continue, it may yet become a viable alternative to running Winxx software.

Yes, I suppose this is cool. I just don't have much use for software that isn't native when there are so many cool native Linux apps.
just my 0.02

Doesn't WINE actually require that MS Windows be installed because it uses many pieces of Windows in order to function? Isn't Linux among other things, an alternate operating system so users can be free from MS? If this is the case, why would any Linux user want to use an applpication

MM is probably using just the WINE libs to ease porting, just like WP. Also, the full WINE does not require a Windows license, it just tries to provide as complete of a Windows API as possible but it is entirely open source. You would obviously need a license for whatever Windows app you were using. Greg

<p>WINE supplies clones of Win32 API functions, and dlls in a pseudo WIin Platform. Some functions pass through to Win itself, but if apps setting on WINE never call those functions Win is never needed. Licenses to run WinXX software is another matter. If you already have an app license and it runs on top of WINE then why not run it? It's not illegal.

Lovely "PORT". The damn thing installs WINE.

Try installing it. I did and all I got was a lovely little access violation error message a-la Windoze. I promptly removed it. I agree with others. Too many native Linux tools out there to mess with this one. Ken Hughes

Is there a SuSE-specific sequence necessary to install a new kernel? If so, is it documented anywhere?
First, I tried to install the 2.2.16 kernel from the SuSE mirror at ftp.twoguys.org:/suse/update/6.4/kernel-2.2.16/k_smp.rpm . The update succeeded, but when I boot that kernel, the initrd *seems* to be corrupt, as it cannot find my SCSI modules, and the boot hangs with VFS: cannot open root device 08:01.
It sounds like you took all the apropriate steps. Maybe the kernel you downloaded was corrupted. Also did you do a "lilo" before trying to reboot the new kernel; then a "depmod -a" after rebooting?

You know, I *thought* I had rerun lilo, but when I updated the kernel (again), then ran mk_initrd and lilo, it rebooted OK.
Thanks for the help!
Mmm.. and the moral of this story is ? (to the tune of Hi Ho from Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs" LIIIIIIII LOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LIIIIIIII LOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Lye,lo lye lo, it's off to work we go... Cliff
