how do i make VMware work on RH 7.3? how does it work? It run windows applications on linux? is it some sort of like emulater like Wine? Is it free? I installed VMware RPM, downloaded from VMware.com, with K Package. how do I Start it?

I have dual boot windows XP and RH 7.3. I have been trying to run kazaa since I switch to linux. Limewire on guntella networks is juz not good enuff.

If you got it from VMWare all the info is there, it is not free - free 30-day trial, afterwards if you decide to keep it $300 for a workstation edition. Install rpm with kpackage, and run from console
vmware-config.pl
as root.

for running kazaa under wine, I'm doing it right now, I can send you a screenshot if you don't believe me.

by searching google for "Kazaa" and "wine" I came up with a good site:
http://franksworld.net/wine/modules....tid=134&page=1

have you read any of the docs on VMWare?

VMWare creates a virtual machine, IE a fake computer (BIOS an' all)

Last time I checked VMWare wasn't free.

Again, using google.com, I found a decent site that pretty much addresses using VMWare on a RPM based Linux Distro.

to: neo7777...do you sleep? I seem to see you all the times ^-^

I dun run win98. how can I get these files? can you upload to me?

commctrl, comdlg32, comctl32, msvcrt, shdoclc, shdocvw, shlwapi.dll, urlmon and wininet.

where do i load the default wine registry?

i need these windows systems files. where can I download them? I dun have windows 98.

commctrl, comctl32, shdoclc, shdocvw, and shlwapi.

I think I gonna install kazaa lite 2.0

My ISP block kazaa default port, that result in very slow download speed even I'm on broadband. I created a fake socks5 firewall and route to across another proxy server using socks2http to get around this. will this work in wine?

haha...found thie websites to download system dll files! thanks!

http://www.dllstorage.com.ua/
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/index.shtml

I'd make you search google, all the DLL's you need can be downloaded off the web, but I ran into version issues and it didn't work the first time, as advertised.

http://blackops.rubi-con.org/files/dlls.tar.bz2

on my install I didn't ever have to load the registery, that is mostly for when things break, and personally I'm more happy to whipe all the wine stuff (I installed wine under /opt/wine) and nuke my "c" directory and just start over. typically by that time its a been awhile anyhow, and I might as well upgrade. Somewhere in the wine docs they talk about where the registry goes, to be honest I don't remember as I've never done that.

Mind you, it might crash the first time or so, give it a whirl a few more times, it should start working alright. if you start downloading around 20 files at once, it sucks up 30% of my 1.6Ghz athlon, but then again, I think it does that under windows anyhow

No, it's not me it is my clone is fooling around , obviously I need a sleep, but there is so much stuff to do - php, jsp, java - mostly work related, but I sleep at work, no problems here

where is the wine system directory? where fo I put the system dll files? I'm going to use winetools to install kazaa 2.0

Is this is the wine system directory? I saw hundreds of windows system dll

file:/home/andrew/.wine/fake_windows/Windows/System

Invoking /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin kazaa_lite_172_english.exe ...
Could not stat /mnt/floppy (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:

Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file.
This is (supposed to be) '/root/.wine/config'
Wine failed with return code 1

I have the above error...what can I do?

yooOOOhHHOOO!!! I GOT KAZAaaAAA working!!! after 2 weeks of research!
