Hi. 1.- if yoou have a old version of win4lin installed remove it completly (unemerge an remove all files in var and opt about win4lin) 2.- unemerge win4lin 5 and remerge (ensure that md5 is the right one) 3.- you windows cd is ok? tell me
1- No, it was a frech/clean install from ebuild 2- Tried it three times, with deleting the directories win4lin creates before I submitted this bug ;-) 3- yup, no scratches on disk and the cd installed fine on my notebook today..
