Last night ended with a failure of the ping tests on RPCemu. This morning I noticed that Networking was off in Settings, so put it ON and bingo, networking started with:

-------------- End of snippable success story -------------

Do not ask me how I got there! I took no notes as it was complicated enough with two or three windows open to copy the commands from one window/Terminal to another.

What I did have to do was to completely reinstall Ubuntu at one stage, not to mention a few rebuilds of RPCEmu. And since I started this I have made 5 successive builds on VirtualBox.

It seems that RPCEmu has now to be started only with: sudo ./rpcemu-recompiler

What I would like to do is to put the previous command of: cd rpceemu/rpcemu-0.8.102 and the recompiler start together in an executable file that can be clicked on. I do not know how to do this in Unix.

And now to get Netsurf in and transfer a few applications into RPCEmu. And then the real testing can begin.

So far I have not found any fault with 0.8.102. Many thanks for this pressie!
