Per previous closed thread about RPM in OpenSuSE distro received this email just moments ago http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502572 User sven.burmeister@gmx.net added comment http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502572#c1 Sven Burmeister changed:            What    |Removed         …

I had several which didn't work with Win95. Some of them large commercial products. Ah well...if any distro actually gets serious about making Linux a reliable tested desktop, it could take over corporate America. So far, none qualify.

As I said, your installer may very well "think" it completed, but without entries in the registry, the application wouldn't be usable. A single EXE running from a single directory would work, but once you started needing DLLs and Windows resources, your application wouldn't be allowed access. I …

Older Windows installation program ceased working when the Registry was introduced. The registry was redefined (almost completely) in XP which caused another round of Install-Shield and similar product upgrades. You can get a "new" version released with one of those installers which will install in …

It did not show up that way for me and when I clicked I ended up in Sourceforge.

Every distro has the same *&^)(&)*(Uing problem. Some group of OpenSource developers hacks out a package/tool/product …

That's what I love about the OpenSource community. The OpenSuSE forum points the finger here and when one comes here, they point the finger back at the OpenSuSE people. So much gets resolved. It is a vast improvement over having multiple commercial vendors involved in the equation. 😳

Look back at the screen shot. You will see no output file was created and no error was issued. I believe this is all because whoever put the RPM together had DOSbox install itself on the menu without acquiring the value of $home for the user when it gets launched. OpenSuSE 64-bit 11.1 is free, so …

Here is the answer. OpenSuSE 11.1 (and probably many other Linux distros) add DOSbox to the KDE menu. When it is launched from there, it doesn't have a user writable directory. I can get output if and only if I start dosbox from the command line. I would have expected some kind of priv/protection …

I'm running 64-bit OpenSuSE 11.1 on an Asus M2N4-SLI with AMD 3500 CPU, 8 Gig of RAM and several TB of disk space. I installed both DOSbox and the dosemu from the OpenSuSE repository. I need to be able to edit a config file so I can run some very old software to extract historical expense data from …
