IP in Rehovot, Bochs, LS-120



Hello,
one of the visitors at Computax called me and asked about
installation parties. Since I heard something (here in the list)
about an installation party to be held in Rehovot, I told him, and
he was glad (he is from Rehovot). Is these plans (to have an
installation party in Rehovot) still actual?  Who should he contact?

And to another issue: Seems Insignia is not going to announce a
Linux port of SoftWindows.

Meanwhile, does anybody here have any experience with any other
emulation software?  Does anybody have experience with running Win95
under Bochs (or other OS under Bochs)?

Wine looks far from being useful, so if performance is not an issue,
Bochs looks as the most reasonable solution (I know it is VERY slow,
but it is still faster than closing all your applications, rebooting
your computer from the Win95 partition, doing what you wanted to do,
rebooting again from the Linux partition, and then re-invoking all
the applications which were in the middle of running...).

Some of you may say: "Well, buy more computers...", but for people
with notebooks it is not an option.

And to the third issue: I want to REPLACE my 1.44 floppy drive by one
of these new LS-120. I don't have a space for both. Is it supported
by Linux?  Is it supported fully? (i.e. can it be used for booting,
mounting, etc.).

Thanks in advance,
