      Hi! Bj÷rn,              In a msg of Wed, 24 Oct 12, I wrote to you:               BF>> If you have 6.22 with CD-ROM support, this might be something        BF>> for you -- it even have IE5 and good old Rodent's Revenge.               Oooh, a game even! (I didn't get that far at all but I ran-up the RR help       file, just to see what it was...)               PQ> Thank you. [sfx: whistling like one of Snow White's dwarves.]              Well, I didn't get very far. After I got used to fumbling around in DOS       again, I arranged a HD to boot from (I already had a HDD with MS-DOS       6.22+Norton Commander v4.00[Irish locale with a terminal emulation addon]).        Then, I ran the WFWG setup from floppy image #1.              Setup.exe ran fine and seemed to do all that was required, in double-quick       time due to processor speed, however it choked on disk #2 (just as I had       remembered from my real floppies). (Floppy disk swapping in the virtual drive       was smooth, Benny.)              Oh well, back to 'plan A'. No harm, no foul. I very rarely use it or the DOS       7.01 vBox.              Thanks again. It was 'interesting' for 45 minutes.              On to another adventure with a new Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS vBox, soon. :)        ^^        (The 'quarter' fix I think it's called.)              Cheers,       Paul.              ... The universe is. It is mankind that attaches meaning to it.       --- Paul's Win98SE VirtualBox        * Origin: Quinn's Post - Maryborough, Queensland, OZ (3:640/384)    |
