I've downloaded and installed Win4Lin ****Multi-user 2.0 beta****.
I got as far as stage 3: installing the core windows system
when I ran into problems.
I am using Mandrake 6.1, kernel 2.2.13-7.
From "winsetup &", I selected "System-Wide Win4Lin Administration, "
then "Load Windows CD."
So far so good, the CDROM spins and select win9x installer.
Then two problems:
1. The "Loading Window CD" window appears and start displaying
***black stripes*** where instructions and outputs are supposed to be...
After a while, I found a quick and dirty solution. I used an xterm
window and dragged it over the black stripes, line by line. This way I was
at least able to read what the computer was trying to say and wanted me to do.
2. From this point on I was able to attempt installing the windows98 CD. But
the fat lady didnot sing yet....
After the computer detected the win98 CD and I inserted the win98 start-up
diskette, I got this error:
grep: /ver/win4lin/tmp/user_flop: Invalid argument
This doesnot appear to be a boot floppy
Cannot continue
Unable to continue install
You must havew a valid DOS boot floppy
before you can again try to install the
DOS from the windows CD or boot drive.
DOS 7 installation failed
Press return to continue....
