Use another editor to edit the message and cut all the REST of the >text out of the message - all BUT the license info between the dashed lines in the message. Save the file as license.txt and move it to /var/win4lin/install . Bingo! I happen to use Midnight Commander ( mc ) for editing but some other editor might do just as well. This must be another lf/cr - DOS vs UNIX formatting issue. GOOFY WINDOW SIZE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Also, my Windows would periodically start in a real narrow window - as wide as the DOS box was that started it. While perusing archives of this email list I found that it was usually because of the user moving the window during initialization - something I wasn't doing - but apparently KDE2 WAS. I like the taskbar and menu bar at the TOP of the Window. While watching the Win4Lin initialization I could see the window jog a bit as it moved down from the top of the screen, apparently trying to move away from the task bar. That musta been it. The solution was also in the archives (a search feature on the list archives would be soooo nice - hint hint ). A fellow named Brian came up with the solution for KDE users. Start the Win4Lin session from and icon with a command line something like this: kstart win --window Windows --geometry 1600x1138 Kstart is a starter app that KDE provides. "win" of course starts win4lin. Substitute your geometry for the 1600x1138, i.e. use 1024x768 if that is the window size you are shooting for. The "--window Windows" apparently keeps the command from affecting any other window - like the nag box that pops up before you license the product (which I had until the license.txt solution above). If you prefer launching from a command line then write a script to launch it with these commands. This works in KDE2 with Win4Lin 2, but of course ymmv. _______________________________________________ Win4Lin-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.netraverse.com/mailman/listinfo/win4lin-users
