13 views so far and no reply c'mon peeps help a dummy out

 

after long hours i still have no solution to my problem

 

Doesn't google work in Darwin?

yes google works in D-Town but i been trying all day to get this working i been reading this exact guide and still a bit lost cause things wont work was hoping somebody had a simple answer to fix it but al good i will keep trying i think i need to read up more on how Linux works rather than diving straight in to something that i have no idea about ,

 

what would be nice if some one could send me a preconfigured sd card image so i can plug and play , but i learn nothing doing that way

 

Anything Linux based usually has a bit of a learning curve. Stick at it, you'll get a real sense of accomplishment when you get it working

For $2.37 you can have a solution.

 

I
Have this already I just can't configure it to work proper

 

Or you could have a windows-based device, and had it done in 5 minutes flat.

 

I paid for this yet cannot work out how to download it.

The Indicity client just doesnt seem to download it.

Any help appreciated.

 

Lol that brings back my mandrake and redhat days, true as true there.

Ah dam now i want one for syndicate

 

Not sure if this helps but here is my simple guide for setting up a pi from scratch: http://simon.fearby.com/blog/?p=1752

 

make a folder in you home directory that you want to have as your C drive in dosbox (/home/pi its the default folder when you press home in the file manager on the desktop)

for this example ill assume you called that folder "dos"

then within dosbox type

mount c /home/pi/dos

then swap to C: and away you go

don't be surprised if its too slow to be playable though, rpiX86 can be a LOT faster but its a bit less compatible.

overclocking the pi may help but its still pretty slow.

What is the actual issue you are running into though? Maybe if you shared error messages we could assist one step at a time
