This makes a single 1.5 gbyte file on your HD (make sure you have the room!) Connects it to the loopback device and builds an e2fs files system in it (note you can even e2fsck it when windoze crashes!). Mount it on a directory called win and the win4lin install will install right into it. Only prob is lotsa wasted space. Use the win4lin admin utility to mount various linux directories as disks under windows and works well. I am using win 95/office 97. Office 2000 still does not want to install and some programs return a unix path instead of a windows one on install and fail, but I think that would have happened in any case. Note that any single file under e2fs is limited to 2gb or so. dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=1500000 of=very_large_file.dsk losetup /dev/loop0 very_large_file.dsk mke2fs /dev/loop0 mkdir /home/whoever_you_are/win mount /dev/loop0 win BillK _______________________________________________ Win4Lin-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.netraverse.com/mailman/listinfo/win4lin-users
