Re: Win4Lin
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
