I'd look at LILO or GRUB, but I'm a Linux dork. IIRC, installing Windows versions in the right order and it would find the other MS OSes and set up the boot.ini appropriately. DOS/98, then the NT products, likely with the most recent installed last. In a way you already have a suitable boot loader, …

Wine is a bit of a blind spot for me, I've not used it much in a long time. I went from using nearly all FOSS on Windows, to nearly all FOSS on FOSS... I cut the windows-only stuff whilst still on Windows. But my thoughts are to do with a 64/32 bit thing: if your Windows program is old then it might …

Just tried building this in a Debian 12 (bookworm) x64 virtual machine, and it looks like it should work root@debvm:~$ apt-get install libfuse-dev cmake pkg-config Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done pkg-config is already the newest …

I've been using Linux for years now, and I'm still no coder, but maybe if you post the build output (or the last 10 lines or so) it'll hint at what the problem is. I use live anti-X once in a while, it runs on an ancient laptop I have and will boot a live distro to do a full HDD dump to the LAN. Can …

This post https://arstechnica.com/civis/threads/seeking-win2k-driver-for-riva-128zx.652648/post-12323702 says I found a website that is hosting Win2k drivers for the Riva 128 that has an opengl driver included..... The version of the driver is 3.37 This page has a v3.37 for 9x, which may work on 2k. …

Bodge? Hosts file (or DNS if you're posh) for home.netscape.com pointing at a webserver on your LAN. Then just create the same directories and files! Though looking at home.netscape.com, they say engineers are on it and will fix the issue. Yeah, sure they are!

What about power on, POST, hit F8 (or F5? Can't remember) to get the startup menu. Can you get to DOS mode that way?

It'll be to do with the various standards for filenames on CDs over the years. I bet the root problem is that DOS wants the most basic version, but w10 burns the most recent version. Incomprehensible terms like Rock Ridge might come up. This is fun :) What burning software are you using? Not that I …

Seeing this maybe working today made me lol a bit, and I looked at the website, kali.net. It still seems to be going! The wikipedia article backs it up. Anyway, I think the answer to your problem is on the kali website: Important: the default Kali Tracker port has changed. To connect, go to the File …

I know, just pointing at YT is the most contemporary of internet answer :) Of course the vid I linked to has the obligatory poor production values[1]. But the camera is static, and the video is edited, which is great as far a YT goes :) I linked to it because I think it will actually give you some …

I have seen a Youtube video of two PCs dialed up with modems, and all that was needed was IIRC a 9V battery and a resistor. Modems won't pick up a line, or start dialing, something like that, without some electricity on the phone line. 56K was a maximum theoretical download, by default they had 33. …

What would be the best way to prep it for DOS install? Or is there any possible way to emulate a computer and install DOS to a partition on say the CF card? So it would be ready to just pop in? Since I don't have the floppy drive? As progman.exe was saying I could copy the install files over to the …

Win2k on 48 meg of RAM and a laptop HDD..... that must run like a pig! Anyway, someone got win2k onto it so the problem is not insurmountable. What's the BIOS like? I have a Portege 7200 here and I am sure that has some boot order options. But I do have the portege's docking station, so can network …

I had PCI and AGP cards in a Win2k machine back in the day, and at least once I thought a reinstall had failed: Windows was doing the install on the AGP, but on first boot using PCI. That monitor was off, and so I got just black screens.... Anyway, could it be that with the latter cards Windows …

I have a zip of the install folder for GTASA, and have been moving that between machines for years. IIRC one font needs installing in %windir%\fonts (and that might be for SAMP), but otherwise the game is effectively "portable". Can you install on NT5+ and then copy the install folder to 9x? …

Hi keenerb I have a vague recollection you cannot do \\ip.add.re.ss on 95 (or 9x), only the NT line. You have to use the name. So have working DNS and tick the box in 95's TCPIP settings for use DNS to resolve things, or figure out, er, wins or something? Hosts file entries might be the easiest. And …
