carlosbeldia Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Can anybody tell me if Microcat can be installed in Linux OS? My new job's laptop came with Linux Ubuntu, so now I have this little trouble,....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 It doesn't install natively. Id didn't easily work with WINE for me , although I'm no expert at all and didn't spend time trying to fix it. I run a Windows XP VM for stuff like microcat and the work SSL VPN (which only works with internet explorer). Sorry I can't be of any more help.

Aragorn Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Ye i'd also recommend a virtualisation platform. As long as your laptop has the correct VTx extensions, then ubuntu supports KVM pretty much out the box, you'd just need to install KVM and virt-manager, create a suitably sized VM and install windows inside it, then run microcat there.

Gromit Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hi Carlos, If you install Oracle's Virtual Box http://www.virtualbox.org/, which is straightforward on Ubuntu, you can install an XP virtual machine, on which you can run microcat. To save installing everything, I can send you the entire virtual machine image (XP plus microcat), that you can run in Virtual Box. It will have to be a DVD, as the image is pretty big.

carlosbeldia Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks a lot everybody, I'll install VM. Thanks for the offer Gromit, but I'm located in Colombia, so the sending costs could be really expensive...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envelope with just a DVD won't be that much Make a donation of a few quid to the forum and I'll drop it in the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
