A blast from the past
Yeah, Tux isn't looking so good. Just got him in a sealed Corel Linux box. I'ma try my hand at getting Word Perfect running on Buster. Why? Because I can. I still keep WP going on the windows side. I had it installed back in wheezy I think. Not too long ago. So I've dug into a few sites (that are left) that have some helpful info. Gonna see if it will work. If not....eh

A word of advice for the young - don't throw away any physical CDs / DVDs. I had the 1997 four CDs Slackware set and threw them away. I'm very disappointed now

Yeah, actually corel linux is the first that I tried that I got WORKING on my old DOS box back in 1999. Got it from that old distributor that would sell burned linux cd's. Also got a copy of Debian Woody that didn't burn well and didn't work. But my old Corel cd got lost in a move. I have many of my previous. Including my copy of Mandrake 10 that was my first functional AND working linux install.

Re: A blast from the past
Well if anyone out there wishes to try to get WordPefect working. WP 8.1 from the old Corel Linux. I can say it can be done easily and painlessly. I got a copy from a thrift shop. I pulled off the wpfull package from the install disc. And with the help of the script from xwp8users.com I was able to get it working fine.
