...cenity.) I thought that browser, or a cleaner clone of it, of level at least 7, was an integral part of Wine.

It keeps butting in when I try to install map software from Garmin under Wine. I'm not nearly competent not willing to apply the remedy it suggests. How do I get to someplace where I can disable it, or at least set it to permissive?

...iled even to install the legacy programs; there seem to be parts of Wine that I don't have yet; but the full release is due out in a week, and I'll try again after that.

...I use browsers as I used to use books, back in the Carboniferous when I had a desk in the stacks. Are there ways a subtechnoid can run Arora, Dillo, Epiphany, Konqueror, Midori, Kazehakase, Rekonq, Opera, and Pan on this CentOS -- without falling into the bad old pit of dependency hell? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

...much of the old data off the GPSs to make space for new, and have it preserved only in the old Wine files. Is there an easy way, (preferably with a web site to walk the subtechnoid through it!) to copy those old waypoints, routes, tracks, and even maps into the files of the virtual XP?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

...id fine with all the same exact hardware, suggested that CentOS, being designed for stability rather than the bleeding edge, likely lacks drivers; so I need to get some.

...ng Windows machines; the vendors of both hard- and software will have a larger market, especially as the Baby Boomers retire, and some of them also get rid of Windows; and so will authors and publishers of both linux books and GPS/mapware books.

...could at least get the data I have added so far to it into the Wine installation. Could this be done?

...aps, because I can't upload the good ones from linux (FC1). I'm getting almost hard up enough to break down and run MegaScat for real on some throw-away machine kept offline.
