[kforge-user] KForge on windows

Fri Dec 4 04:42:17 UTC 2009

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your email. KForge hasn't been tested on windows, so it could 
be fairly difficult.

There are several other options, so let's make sure we meet your deadline.

Do you have Debian Lenny, or are you able to install VMWare (or 
equivalent) on your windows machine? You could install KForge on Debian 
Lenny, possibly with Debian running on a virtual machine.

Let me know if you need any more support.

Best wishes,

John.
