Sorry Tom, you are incorrect. Win4Lin 9X/Home require kernel patching. I think you are confusing Pro with 9X and Home. Pro requires no patching, but only Pro. Of course, for _some_ distros, there is a binary kernel replacement for use with 9X/Home. Not so for gentoo. Regards http://www.win4lin.com/content/view/161/187/ Win4Lin Kernel Patching Win4Lin 9x, Win4Lin Home, and Win4Lin Terminal Server require a modified kernel to work. For a majority of users, running the Win4Lin or WTS graphical installer will select, download, and install the appropriate binary replacement kernel, and patching a kernel will not be necessary. However, there are some distributions that may require you to compile a vanilla kernel from source, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, Fedora Core 3 and 4. The Kernel Patch README file provides advanced users with the Win4Lin kernel patching requirements. A detailed kernel patching guide is available in the Win4Lin Kernel Patching Guide available from Support -> Documents -> Win4Lin 9x Howtos -- [email protected] mailing list
