I've upgraded the kernel to 2.4.21-0.25, but other than that, it's what shipped with Mandrake. I've had no problems getting the March, May, July, August, and current stable versions to work. That's not to say that different things work slightly differently with each version, and that some things worked better with previous installations than are working now, as well as the reverse. But I've had no problems getting wine itself installed and working. I've not done anything special. Well, okay, I always completely remove the previous wine installation before each new install. Also, I'm using a real win98se partition and not the fake_windows partition. A third thing is that I'm using the XWine frontend that came with the Mandrake PowerPack (which I upgraded in September from the XWine site). I've found that it simplifies for someone like myself (who would just as soon not know what's going on really) configuring each application. I have gotten my rpms from http://digilander.libero.it/winehqitalia because Ivan compiles his on a Mandrake 9.1 system. However, my most recent one came from somewhere else. Where, I can't remember. It was however also compiled for a Mandrake system. I'm sure I got the reference for it here, though. Probably someone else remembers it. deedee -- Visit "WordStar & GNU/Linux" http://www.wordstar2.com Also, see the WordStar Users Group http://www.wordstar2.com/cbabbage/wordstar

Hi. I was wondering if anyone out there had any success running Wine under Mandrake and if so what they had to do to get it to work. I've used wine successfully in the past, but I had stopped for a couple of years. I started again this year or at least tried starting, but have not yet been successful. I am running Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo, w/ a few upgrades to 9.2 (apache etc), but not fully upgraded yet. I have wine, wine-utils and libwine1 rpms installed. I have also attempted to recompile the SRPM. Nothing seems to work. Not even the simplest notepad.exe application, or even the bundled notepad.exe. I have tried up to version 20030813-1mdk. I have Win98SE installed (dual boot), but I have tried the prepackaged windows setup in /var/lib/wine as well. I am running on an AMD K6-III 450 w/ 320MB RAM and tons of disk space. I have no clue where to begin or how to get this stupid thing to run even after following the instructions - it won't run the prepackaged apps. Any information or pointers would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Shamim Islam BA BS
