Installed Slackware 9.1 and I love it...
I now want to install win4lin 4.0 but am having some trouble. The graphical installer just dies and says that there is an "Error while installing package". So then I went, found the rpm on the cd and tried to install that. it gives me the failed dependencies:
error: failed dependencies:
/bin/sh is needed by Win4Lin-5.3.0s-d
ld-linux.so.2 is needed by Win4Lin-5.3.0s-d
libaudiofile.so.0 is needed by Win4Lin-5.3.0s-d
libc.so.6 is needed by Win4Lin-5.3.0s-d
libesd.so.0 is needed by Win4Lin-5.3.0s-d
libm.so.6 is needed by Win4Lin-5.3.0s-d
There wouldn't be a problem but I have all of these!
So I try a:
rpm --nodeps -U Win4Lin-5.3.0s-d.i386.rpm
That gives a segmentation fault.

My kernel is patched with the Kernel-Win4Lin3-2.4.22.patch patch and the latest mki-adapter patch. The installer recognizes that the kernel is "netraverse enabled".
If anyone knows what to do...please tell me!

My recommendations:

(1) Get Win4Lin 5.0. Your upgrade cost should be nothing to minimal. My understanding is that Win4Lin 5.0 is much better than Win4Lin 4.0. I have never used Win4Lin 4.0 but I do use Win4Lin 5.0 and I find it very good.

(2) When getting Win4Lin 5.0, make sure that you get their "retail box" version sent to you with a new graphical installer and all and make sure it has built in support for Slackware 9.1. Don't try to download kernels, etc. from their website and attempt to do patches yourself. They (Netraverse) have not perfected that process at all and it didn't work for me when I tried it.

(3) Completely wipe your hard drive (backing up whatever data you need to beforehand) and do a clean reinstall of Slackware 9.1 from scratch.

(4) Run Win4Lin 5.0 to first install the Netraverse enabled kernel, then the Win4Lin interface and then the Windows that you want to use. All of this should go without a hitch.
