Hi everybody , when i visted the stall yesterday at about 1:00 pm , i found it extremely crowded like the previous day ... i started demonstrating on the first fc3 ( bengali ) machine , only to find that the the suse machine had freezed ... i booted the Freeduc 1.4.1 cd on it .. and started the Dr.Geo application on it ... then i found that someone trying to open all the 4 OOo applications all at once ! For those who will be today at the fair today , pls note that i have installed the DosBox on the first machine [ bengali ] , and also the Prince of Persia 1/2 on it ... people were enjoying it with glee as long as i was there .... i left at around 3:30 pm if u want to start the Prince game on any of the machines today , run DosBox from the terminal , mount / as c , then switch to the reqd. directory and start the Prince.exe application ... remember its a dosbased shell , so commands r a mixture of linux and dos :-)
i wont be able to visit the fair today due to my classes ... i will be there again tommorrow noon ...
