FakeLin is a small program that pretends to load Linux
on your computer.
It will look like this on your screen:
I
have programmed FakeLin using Borland C++ 4.5
The zip file contains:
- fakelin1.exe - FakeLin for DOS, Windows 3.1
and Windows 95/98
- fakelin2.exe - FakeLin for Windows NT
- linux16.ico - 32x32 icon with 16 colors
- linux256.ico - 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 icon with
16 and 256 colors
- readme.txt - instructions
- viktigt.txt - instructions (in Swedish)
Instructions
"Un-zip" the zip file in a new folder, for example
c:\fakelin and do like this:
- DOS:
- Type the command fakelin1 .
- Windows 3.1:
- Create a new Program Icon in the Program Manager, naming
it for example "Change to Linux".
- At Command Line type c:\fakelin\fakelin1.exe.
- Change icon to c:\fakelin\linux16.ico .
- Double click on the new Program Icon to run FakeLin.
- Windows 95/98:
- Create a new Shortcut on the Desktop.
- At Command Line type c:\fakelin\fakelin1.exe .
- Name the shortcut for example "Change to Linux".
- Choose any icon.
- Right click on the new shortcut and choose Properties.
- Under "Program" check
"Close at exit" (?) and change icon to
c:\fakelin\linux256.ico .
- Under "Screen" choose "Full screen".
- Click the OK button.
- Run FakeLin by double clicking on the new shortcut.
- Windows NT:
- Do the same as for Windows 95/98,
but use fakelin2.exe instead.
FakeLin for Linux
Now available: the incredibly unnecessary program FakeLin for Linux.
I have compiled it with gcc under Red Hat Linux 6.0 on a
Pentium Pro PC, but I hope it will work with other Linux variants.

Download a gz file
with FakeLin for Linux.
|
"Un-zip" the gz file in a suitable folder, go to that folder
using cd and type the command ./fakelin3 .
