running Lineage on Linux |
Using the winex emulator, distic managed to persuade Lineage to run on his Linux box. He gave some instructions (which I posted below). Performance is perfect under his P200 with 32MB of RAM, so it should be fine in general (distic, get yourself a better computer). There is currently no audio support. Also, running Lineage this way is not supported in any way by NC, so run this at your own risk. (But most Linux people fix their own problems anyway.) :)
You'll need this file: GetWineX, care of ElmerFudd from #winex on the openprojects network.
- chmod 744 GetWineX to make sure it's executable
- Make the directory "temp" in your home folder. E.g. /home/distic/temp
- Run the GetWineX script, ./GetWineX update (this may take some time depending on your system speed, and requires root)
- Once it has compiled, mount your windows directory. Assuming you have a folder "/c" and that your windows partition is hda1 you use the command: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /c
- change directory to your lineage folder. e.g. cd /c/Program\ Files/Lineage/
- Run winex out of your lineage directory: cvswinex lineage.exe
If you want to run lineage inside a window (to make it manageable) edit your winex config file "config" (found in /home/yourname/.cvswinex/config)
scroll down to the [x11drv] area and find the text that says "Managed" = "N" and change the "N" to a "Y"
If you want to adjust the size of this "desktop" remove the ";" from the line reading "Desktop" = "640x480"
you can edit the window size by altering the "640x480" to whatever you want.
when you first run cvswinex lineage.exe it will take some time to cater for the fonts, but after that it will run quickly
audio support is minimal, but I'll update you when thats fixed.
And your done ;) |
