Indeed, the patch seems to apply with some hunks (I suck at C programming :), and fails to buid with qemu with a compile error on the SPARC part of the emulation (Blue swirl, did you see the error?) Does anyone else have a better solution other then patching and unpatching QEMU to install and use Windows 2000? Thanks, Hetz On Apr 6, 2005 1:03 AM, Leonardo E.
