cutdown virtual machine (runs win9x + dos only)
needs a kernel patch (fairly straightforward)

yes, it makes its own slightly customised installation (eg kernel32.dll
is slightly patched and is relocated) on a linux filesystem like ext2
(or reiser)

win4lin, vmware both have 15 day demos so go try, -
but keep a recent vintage of wine aroud too of course :-)
