Still have these questions: CWp3 winedbg symlink is broken. How to fix? I am hearing that in order to deinstall a Windows program, you must compile a certain proggie from the sources. It doesn't seem to come with CWWine. Best avenue? I chose Desktop mode, as I need two apps running simultaneously. Freedom, which is my privacy app and netscape-mail must run together, as mail is fetched through Freedom. I'm hearing that each winprog is run as new process. Is it possible to run two winprogs in one Wine desktop? Should there be a taskbar on the desktop? If so, how would I enable? Wanting to set up a common Wine config for all users, so tried symlinking to a user's /$HOME/.wine files. But even root fails when running a Wine program, with something like 'root is not the owner of the process'. (referring to the folder in .wine dir) Possible to fix? -- C. The best way out is always through. - Robert Frost A Servant to Servants, 1914

I understand that every time X fonts are changed, Wine freezes for a period until these are assimilated. But when I run a program (QuoteTracker), it runs for about 2 minutes (with a random script font) then freezes; indefinitely. I need to kill the Wine window and the server process, so no debug info. This happens with other Win proggies as well. I presume this is happening on a font scan. What could be wrong?

OK, I've asked these questions four weeks in a row and received no response whatsoever. Linux is supposed to be the OS where you can turn to the newsgroups/IRC and get able help. This is to those who couldn't lift a finger to help with these vital questions: Thanks for nothing, you arrogant snots. You don't know how much damage you do. Everyone should know that VMWare for kernel 2.4 is out now, (beta) and it works. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Wine Setup Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 10:25:51 -0600 From: @.
