Edit your config file to create an entry for a C: drive; it should be something like [Drive C] "Path" = "/win98" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "MS-DOS" "Filesystem" = "win95" ` and then define one for your home directory [Drive F] "Path" = "/home/gallun" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "MS-DOS" "Filesystem" = "win95" `>In addition to the general usefulness of being able to run Windows apps >in the event that it is necessary, my immediate goal is to run Outlook.!>As unpopular as it is, i have searched for an IMAP client on Linux that >provides functionality that I like better and am unable....

The bet to make it work without problems is a lot better than with Outlook. Gerard
I appear to have 'installed' wine correctly and get appropriate output from 'wine -version' However, when I try to run solitaire, the following happens. [root@pato gallun]# wine -winver win31 -desktop 640*480 /win98/windows/sol.exe Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working directory /home/gallun; starting in windows directory. Warning: /win98/windows/sol.exe not accessible from a DOS drive Warning: /win98/windows/sol.exe not accessible from a DOS drive wine: cannot find '/win98/windows/sol.exe' [root@pato gallun]# I copied the wine.conf data from the HOWTO and modified the drive C to /win98 instead of /dos. The problem appears to be related to the .conf setup, but I don't even know how to begin debugging it. I am currently running another copy of wine which has been hacked by IBM to run their 'Homeweaver' software. I tried to cannibalize it's .conf file with no better results..... In addition to the general usefulness of being able to run Windows apps in the event that it is necessary, my immediate goal is to run Outlook. As unpopular as it is, i have searched for an IMAP client on Linux that provides functionality that I like better and am unable.... Lots of good looking POP clients promising to add IMAP support, but.... Is anyone running Outlook on WINE? Are there any special tricks to this that I should know JIC I get my 'drive' problem taken care of? TNX, B
Does evolution work with Exchange servers? My office environment is pure NT and I'm trying to convert myself to 100% linux. Currently, I'm running VMware but I don't want to unless needed. -----Original Message----- From: Malte Cornils [mailto:malte@cornils.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 3:43 PM To: wine-users@winehq.com Subject: Re: wine.conf newbie problem Richard Spandit wrote:> Not really.
