Astronaut TMG-CPRS in Linux

  • I have not been successful in running TMG-CPRS in Wine or on the Mono platform. However, there is no problem running in a virtual machine running Windows.
  • Run TMG-CPRS in Windows in a VirtualBox virtual machine.
  • Install VirtualBox in Linux. (I use Ubuntu/Kubuntu -- see Installing VirtualBox in Kubuntu.
  • Create a new virtual machine. A virtual machine running Windows 98 should be satisfactory.
  • Install Windows 98SE (or Windows XP if you have a spare license) in the virtual machine.
  • Install the Astronaut CPRS package into Windows in the virtual machine as usual.
  • Configure Windows (within the virtual machine) so it starts up AstronautSSH as well as TMG-CPRS at startup. That way whenever the virtual machine starts, both the SSH tunnel and TMG-CPRS will start (without intervention).
  • Create a Menu Item / Shortcut in (K)Ubuntu Linux to start the virtual machine automatically.
