All, Anyone willing to share a .wine/config that's working with a 9x install? I've been playing around, even blowing away the win98 slice and installing it from scratch, but when running wineboot, I still get 10-15 crashes to the debugger. So far, about all I can run is notepad sucessfully. The ironic thing is, if I use just wine, I have much fewer problems, but would like to be able to use a number of native dlls for the areas that are still being worked on. Thanks, Rob -- If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

For example I am not using native partition as it seems to me to create a big mess of registry entries and dlls used.> I've been playing around, even blowing away the win98 slice and > installing it from scratch, but when running wineboot, I still get 10-15 > crashes to the debugger.

IMHO, the most of native dlls works fine with Wine if you just copy them to the ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system dir.

Just link your ~/.wine/dosdevices/c: to where the windows partition is mounted. You must have r/w permission and any other drives under windows (d:, e: ...) should be available under wine under the same letters.> I've been playing around, even blowing away the win98 slice and > installing it from scratch, but when running wineboot, I still get 10-15 > crashes to the debugger.Looks like you are successful. Wineboot uses the windows registry to run services, startup programs, drivers that don't work (and don't need to work) in wine. Running wineboot like: "env WINEDEBUG=+wineboot wineboot" will show you what it is trying to do.> So far, about all I can run is notepad > sucessfully.You are not telling what not.> The ironic thing is, if I use just wine, I have much fewer problems, but > would like to be able to use a number of native dlls for the areas that > are still being worked on.That is probably true and points to the recommended way of running wine: run it without windows, copy the files that you need over to your Linux setup.
