I was looking at the WIKI and noticed the GK2 WIKI entry. It only has a brief mention of the Endroz installer. It has nothing to do with DOSBox, only to say that DOSBox is unnecessary.
This entry does not take into account anyone not on a Win32 OS. Enrico Rolfi's installer is great for those on Win32, it of no use for anyone on another OS, even Win64. The SHP GK2 installer does make use of Endroz's UniSCI tool, too, for full HDD installation, but sets up the DOS version in DOSBox. The installer is a Win installer made with NSIS, but once it is setup, all that would need to be done to make it work on other platforms would be to correct the mounting for the OS in question.
I don't know if the installer and UniSCI would work under WINE. Before I add anything to the WIKI entry, I would like to get some input from anyone on Linux or Mac as to if there was anyway my installer could be used on other platforms without use of an emulator, say with WINE? At very worse, if anyone on a non-Windows machine had access to a Windows PC, they could burn the folder to a DVD to transfer it to the other machine and redo the mounting in the autoexec section of the conf file. I realize that anyone on Mac could also do this through Bootcamp or Parallels, have noticed that some Mac users seem to not want to setup either.
