I understand that a patch is going to be included so that someone with an old Linux kernel (ie. 2.2.14) can compile Wine. The file cdrom.c will not compile on my Linux. I am currently using VMware 2.0.4 to run my Windows programs but the version of VMware I am using will not run on a newer kernel. Can you tell me when the patch will be added to the download? Or if it is an easy fix can you tell me what the fix is? Your help will be very appreciated, David

Probably you will not lose a feature you need (the offending parts are for the support of the safedisk patch). For a proper fix you have to ifndef out the parts using features which are not present in 2.2. Or even provide an implementation which works with 2.2 kernel. Regards Zsolt
