Okay this will be my first version used for linux only. And no disk-revovery tool needed. That's the part you covered thoroughly. But there is a lot other stuff that's giving me the creeps.* The only thing that worked perfectly fine so far was installing dosbox and copy paste my dosbox games directory...

Right now I chose to install the linux version of PCC2.0.11. Working perfectly so far. Next step recovering my old settings and thus altering some files like expr.cc or expr.usr. But there are they? And more important how to start pcc2? It's not listed in applications at all.

The best I could do was to have a look at my old system and using search function to locate the stuff on my linux drive. So I could find expr.cc and expr.usr. And I found this:

Name     Size     Type     Location
pcc-v2   4.9 MB   Program  /usr/local/bin/

But I'm pretty sure it is not the purpose of linux for users to find their stuff somewhere on the disk and running it manually. There is even other stuff to run (and not to run) in that folder that has nothing to do with pcc like ms-sys and some that is related to pcc like un-trn.

So what went wrong? I'm using linux mint 20.3 (Ulyana)

*The most annoying is how to create a bootable usb stick for win7 with only linux systems running?! Seems to be next to impossible.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
