Dear Friends, I am new to both linux and wine. I have installed wine 20030115 in RH8.0. When I brought a new machine, I chose not to install windows at all on the same, but who can say no to some of those games. I had installed wine for the games part. Application database at winehq said it can run age of empires. well, I did this. I have a vfat partition at /dev/hda1. I mounted the same in mnt/winhd and CDROM at mnt/cdrom. Ran wine setup.exe in the CD. It starts the programme and show me the message "preparing to install". At 99% it just quits. I tried Age of empires as also some other games. All with the same results. Where am I going wrong? HARI ====Doubt is the father of invention. -- Galelio Visit my home page.... www.geocities.com/harirajmr __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
