Has anyone gotten the evaluation version of win4lin to work with
Debian? I'm running potato with kernel 2.2.16 and I applied the 2.2.16
SMP version of the patch (the only 2.2.16 patch they had, even though I
don't use SMP) and converted the RPM to .deb with alien (they don't
have a .deb for the eval version, although the full version does).
It installed without problems, but when I try to run winsetup as root,
I get a large number of messages like:
lmf_get_message GUI_DEVICE_TOKEN_TITLE lmf_errno=-4
The capitalized portion of each of the messages varies, but the rest is
the same.
For some reason, their web site says they support dpkg packaging, but
Debian is not listed as a supported distribution. Possibly this is
because potato isn't officially released yet and slink was distributed
with a 2.0.x kernel.
