I've downloaded codeweavers-wine-20011108, and installed it on a Red Hat 6.1 linux box. It won't launch any programs, however, and returns an error message that says it needs a "true Windows partition mounted under Linux" or an "empty Windows directory". Does this mean I need to repartition the hard drive? Thanks, again, Roy

"true Windows partition mounted under Linux" is not very recommend since it is alpha software. The easy way is creating a new virtual "C:" disk with only a "windows" directory. you should read some other information in the doco. (you could update to a 2002 version at www.winehq.com). ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en fran?ais ! Yahoo!

in you're HOME/.wine/config file you will need to point wine at either a windows partition if you already have one, or a directory (/var/lib/wine, /c, or /home/wine) and lie to the application about there being windows installed. running wine without winedos is really not that bad or that hard. there is NO need to repartition your disk.
