Nope... it was me who first posted this to the list, and I was *not* trying to fool anybody; and puma (the howto author) posted this to the Brazilian linux list about a month ago, so nothing to do with april 1st. He is an active contributor to that list, and I seriously doubt he'd be joking, *but* he stated some people had trouble to do it, while some others had success. He also noted the codepage and country setup for Brazil prevented it to work for some people, who then took the info off config.sys/autoexec.bat and managed to make it work, while others simply had no luck. I'd like to point out that Winblows puts the video card in graphic mode and accesses it through third-party drivers. So, the video card can play a major role in this scenario. I bet this is so even with "standard" VGA drivers. Of course, you may think that I'm *really* trying to make you all look like fools ;-) , but that's not it, I just don't have first-hand experiences to share. And since I suspect that I wouldn't be able to make win95 TCP/IP work under linux, I didn't bother any longer (I need it around here for a couple of reasons). Has anybody tried "safe mode"?
