The pithy ruminations from David Peet on
<Re: [Win4Lin-users] Running a previously installed Window 98 awith Win4Lin?> w
ere:
=> No, that cannot be done with Win4Lin. Windows must be installed in the
=> Linux filesystem for use by Win4Lin.
I'm sure it's not supported, and I'm not speaking for Netraverse in any way,
but you _can_ move things around once win4lin is installed. You've got to have
the windows system files ($HOME/win/windows) on a Linux partition....but in my
case, I'm also shor on space, and I've got $HOME/win/windows/Program Files and
$HOME/win/windows/My Documents (both real space hogs) on my old Windows
partition, with symbolic links into $HOME/win/windows.
It's kind of messy, and you should be really comfortable setting things up, and
don't expect support....but it can be done.
Of course, I don't know how badly my config will break when I do the upgrade to
Win4Lin v3... :)
