This is very funny.( see the screenshot.)We can try to install XP under wine.

Moved to Community Cafe.

Let us know what happens after you try and install. ;)

[shavenlunatic]

uhm, if you select to install windows xp doesn't it just tell you to leave the CD in the drive and give you a "Reboot Now" button?

So yes, I expect it will work :) (although the reboot button likely won't)

[sharks]

I have CD copied in my system because if i get frustrated with windows i may even break my cd if i m out of anger.

[ajeffreys]

Check system compatibility :)

@sharks,
Did u like OSO?

[cnbiz850]

That is funny, but can it also be destructive in the sense that XP will reformat the disk without your knowledge?

i doubt .. it would need admin previledge to do that .. and since wine doest run with admin powers .. whever u run under it would be just has well be handicap in making administrative changes on ur PC

Windows in WINE, no need for Vmware!! :D

[Dark Hornet]

Nice...

[Tomosaur]

I say give it a try. Could be interesting to see if Win programs work better in Windows through Wine rather than just through Wine itself :D

[nonewmsgs]

it is very interesting. i want to hear if it even fully installs.

[sharks]

anyone please try it?

[wieman01]

Why don't you try yourself and report back how it went?

[sharks]

I have only 128 mb ram and no graphic card and a old processor . So my system will hang if i try wine with large applications.

[sharks]

anyone tried it?

[FuturePilot]

Even if you could get it installed, how exactly would you um....boot it? :confused:

I'm tempted to try this :twisted:
Is there a Windows.exe?

[warbread]

It won't work. All you're seeing is the Windows cd autostart program that gives you the option of restarting the computer or install various Windows services. It is no more possible to install Windows in Wine than it is to install Windows in Windows.... without a VM, that is.

anyone?

[kevin11951]

actually there are 2 ways to install windows,

1. the button, which UPGRADES the current windows (ie. ME, 98, 2000) to xp.
2. restart and reformat completely.

It locks up when you get to the install screen

That's what 'stable' means. In that state it is rock solid.

[sharks]

Popch , u have a great sense of humour.

[Tundro Walker]

i think we can install windows xp in ubuntu using a new version of wine after some years.

[Austin17]

Haha, this is an interesting topic. :)

[clairegrrl]

Oh No!! The Linux virus! I hope your Norton is up to date.
