I re-installed Mandrake 8.0 from scratch on my appointed Win4lin box and used the on-line installation method for Win4Lin. Very nice. Someone asked if they had to do the online install, why bother to buy the CD? Well, for the manual, of course. 8). It _is_ inconvenient if you lack a fast internet connection. Perhaps an some kind of an offer of an updated CD? Three items: The Win4Lin modifications to /etc/lilo.conf are now much improved, but I would still like to see the spaces removed (root = /dev/hda3 should be root=/dev/hda3) and there is no reason to copy global vga settings to the Win4Lin stanza, is there? Thanks for improving this, folks. The newest Mandrake kernel rpm will not boot my machine, spitting out error messages about unresolved symbols. The next-to-last kernel worked before for me, however, even with a few error messages like that. Perhaps my problem comes from having to use an initrd for the reiserfs module >From other threads here, it seems that Win4Lin does not follow Mandrake conventions when compiling its version of the kernel. Why not? If it's just like (and that's important) the stock Mandrake kernel, why is it necessary to different versioning if that confuses other things? It should be a direct, transparent replacement.
