I have 18 Gb of CDROMS shared via samba - the entire partition is mounted

I am running a 2.0.x kernel. If it's as simple as that, then I'll certainly
do it (one of the reasons for moving up to frozen was go use the 2.2 kernel

I believe that pppd recognizes a "nodetach" option, which prevents it
from forking/exec'ing to run in the background. Since you are using the
'exec' shell command, I'd say you want it in the background, so you can

Hi!
IMHO, vmware is a rather large solution to just running windows -
if you're looking for something commercial, you might take a look at
win4lin (www.trelos.com). I have been using the eval version for
about a week and I like it alot - it required a modified kernel, but
once you get that do
Not to put down Trelos, (I havent tried it) but vmware has sound, networking
and runs just about everything aside from dvds
What do you mean by large? The space it takes up is the size of a win98

No kernel compilation necessary. I will

'apt-get install ppp' as ro
