Win4Lin is a product of Netraverse. Basically you get a patched version
of the kernel, run the installation as root then run the setup program
for each user(setting up win98). I run win as an application from my
desktop, it appears to be an actual version of win 98 but uses the
resources of the linux kernel.

I'm running Suse 8.1. Pretty straightforward install,( well, a little
glitch installing win98)
