I use it and it works well for me.

Are there any known issues with the source patch on SUSE 6.4?
The kernel patch "worked" but I have to manually change arch/i386/config.in and arch/i386/kernel/apm.c (The latter was a "bit scarey" as there were additional lines of code in there which I do not understand! Looks like magic hardware cookies.) When I tried the installation of Win4Lin, I got an rpm conflict from the installation script. $ sh install-win4lin.sh file /usr/bin/charconv from install of Win4Lin-4.9.2f-1 conflicts with file from package pgp-2.6.3i-140 The Win4Lin package install failed. Trelos have requested copies of the log files in /var/win4lin; which didn't get created as the rpm failed.

You're assuming that a file of the same name performs the same function. I'm not willing to make that assumption and possibly trash a working PGP for the sake of being able to load Win4Lin. <p>> On Fri, Nov 17, 2000 at 08:38:01AM +0800, Bernd Felsche wrote:
