Victor: take a look at my earlier "Runninng WP8.1 on Fedora Core 6" 
thread.  You may need to do one or more of the steps.

Without having Xandros 4.1, I can only guess the problem may be with the 
Linux loader - ld-linux.so.1 -  or the directory where the locale files 
are now kept.

WP8.2 and Xandros 4.1 Professional
Thu, 08 Feb 2007 10:18:22 +000
I have tried to install WP8.2 on Xandros 4.1 Professional (trial 
version). The installation (graphical) appears to work and went through 
all the expected steps. Desktop icon was created.

On launching WP the splash screen appear and then the control window 
begin to appear. The program then died (ie the control window 
disappeared and nothing further happened).

Trying to launch WP from console (XWP) produced the following message: 
"Segmentation fault" and nothing else (and no running program).

Is there anything I can do to test whether WP can run at all?

I find that I need GLibc-2.4 for it to work.  When I used GLibc-2.3.x, I 
had exactly the same issue.
