Linux(Mint) + Win98SE on Dell Inspiron Laptop
Posted: 7. Jan 2010, 13:13
I have a reasonably well specified Dell Inspiron I run Linux Mint on.
Is anyone else running anything similar?
I've just come across virtualbox and have been trying to get Win98SE to run.
The latest release does not install win98 at all. It crashes out with an error
alkong the lines of "Error outside memory management" or something followed
by a dump of the processor registers and a black screen. (Sorry I know how
lame that is - but I had to delete everything - I'll try and post a more accurate
message next time I get the chance to try this)
The earlier release in the synaptic database however DOES install.
So I have that working but cannot locate the video driver mentioned in this forum.
Every link I can find just times out - is there a central download for this somewhere?
Also a better FAQ for win98 installs woulod be very usefull - is there a place we can record
working/non-working configurations?
Any feedback on similar setups to mine or tips etc would be very welcome.
