wine users - May 2001 - Lame question (Unable to generate install log file)

Hi all!
	I was trying to run win98 app under my linuxbox. i copied
installation version in my ext2 partition and then When I was trying to run
one. It complains. There appear win95 windows but inside there was
message . 'SETUP fatal error: Unable to generate installation log file.'
An the yellow triangle. (And OK button :-)). Installation can not proceed
any longer. I suppose i should do something with privileges in work dir.
But I enabled this directory to do everything.

	Can I run application when they are placed on ext2 file-system?

Thanx for help

Sure, *if* it runs at all on a Fat partition it should run also on an
ext2 one (except maybe software protection ???)
Make sure that the ext2 partition is read/write, has a pseudo drive
mapped to it in the config file, and that its filesystem type is set 
to win95.

I don't know if you can, but I do, and this letter comes to you by one
of them.
