Hi there..

I installed a few days ago mandrake 10.1 on my IBM t20 and i love it. banana.gif

But i have a problem, i cannot install my win4lin. I downloaded the newest win4lin (Win4Lin-5.5.8e-d.i386.rpm) and the win4lin enabled kernel (kernel-win4lin-2.6.8.1.10mdk-3-10mdk.i586.rpm) but whenever i try to install win95 win4lin claims missing drivers.. help.gif I have no idea what to do. Am I the only one who has this Problem ?

Do you have an appropriate real Windows boot floppy now ? (y/n/q) y

You may now remove the floppy from the drive.

Hi !!

I am still in trouble. Win4Lin still refuses to work on mandrake 10.1 i and don't know what to do. If i type in the following, i allways get an error message :

[root@localhost ibmt20]# grep mki_install_hook /proc/ksyms
grep: /proc/ksyms: No such file or directory

Damn.. I installed the win4lin enabled kernels, but it seems like something is wrong. Does anybody has an idea what i have to do ?

Moved to Linux-Software. This isn't a strictly Mandrake problem and you will get more help with this there.
