Hi all (esp. windows users),
Last night I tried setting up a Win98SE for use with context using mswincontext.zip (I borrowed a laptop for bachotek, so I could not install linux on it ... ).
It went terribly wrong. At first I thought it was just the shoddy Win98 install on that machine, but Olivier tells me he also had problems installing the latest mswincontext, so I hope another someone who uses Windows98 can testrun the installation.
I got all sort of errors from command.com (syntax error, out of environment space, command not found, permission denied), and the wiki page is definately incomplete so I could not really debug. In the end, I basically gave up.
C windows 98 has limitation on the env space; the way to get around it is to (1) define a larger value in the comspec (config.sys if i'm right) or to enlarge the value in the associated dos box
anyhow, forget about windows 98, just as you forget about suse 2.0 or a linux 0.5 kernel or mac system 9 Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
