Setting up Win4Lin on Debian (tested 2.2) * get the Win4Lin rpm package * use alien to convert to a deb --> alien -d Win4lin*.rpm (don't use the -c switch) * install the deb * change directories to /opt/win4lin/ and run the script postinst-rpm.sh * if suidmanager is running on your system then open the file /etc/suid.conf and edit the Win4lin lines, changing 6146 124 to root bin:
win4lin /opt/win4lin/bin/mountc root bin 4555 win4lin /opt/win4lin/mcd root bin 4555 win4lin /opt/win4lin/publicbin/dosexec root bin 4555 [Win4lin has permissions set to root bin, but suidmanager runs a cron job every day changing that to 6146 124, which makes Win4lin not run until you change it back. Editing suid.conf will solve this problem.] P.S. I running kernel 2.2.12, so can't help you with 2.2.18. If you can compile the kernel with support for Win4Lin then you're set. --hans At 05:24 PM 2/26/01 -0500, The Doctor wrote: >The win4lin installer seems heavily rpm-centric. >Has anyone had any luck getting win4lin to work?
