I bet if anybody knows how to get old Encarta CD-ROM encyclopedias running on Linux it'd be Fedi
@ifixcoinops easiest way is to run Windows 9x in DOSBox. IIRC you can just mount a Windows 9x CD in DOSBox and install it. It doesn't seem like this should work but it does. It's been a while since I've done this though, so there might be some rough edges I'm not remembering. If you need help I'm happy to help you figure it out.
@ifixcoinops (I'm assuming you mean 90s era Encarta here, if you mean 2000s era Encarta I have no idea)
