Sorry Tom, you are incorrect. Win4Lin 9X/Home require kernel patching. I |
| 7 |
think you are confusing Pro with 9X and Home. Pro requires no patching, |
| 8 |
but only Pro. Of course, for _some_ distros, there is a binary kernel |
| 9 |
replacement for use with 9X/Home. Not so for gentoo. Regards |

Win4Lin Kernel Patching |
| 14 |
Win4Lin 9x, Win4Lin Home, and Win4Lin Terminal Server require a modified |
| 15 |
kernel to work. For a majority of users, running the Win4Lin or WTS |
| 16 |
graphical installer will select, download, and install the appropriate |
| 17 |
binary replacement kernel, and patching a kernel will not be necessary. |
| 18 |
However, there are some distributions that may require you to compile a |
| 19 |
vanilla kernel from source, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, |
| 20 |
Fedora Core 3 and 4. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The Kernel Patch README file provides advanced users with the Win4Lin |
| 23 |
kernel patching requirements. A detailed kernel patching guide is |
| 24 |
available in the Win4Lin Kernel Patching Guide available from Support -> |
| 25 |
Documents -> Win4Lin 9x Howtos |
