I cannot use wine with my windows partition. Whenever I try it , I immediatly get segmentation fault messagens (even when trying to run notepad.exe). If I modify the ~/.wine/dosdevices/c: simlink then wine seems to work well (but this is not a good solution, because I want wine to find programs and dlls in my windows partition). I use kurumin (a brazillian distro based on KNOPPIX. It is basically adebian testing) and the windows version is Windows 98 first edition (I use windows 98 solely for wine compatibility). The wine came from the debs in the tesnting release. I really would apreciate help so that I can move back to the linux world. []'s PS: I?m sorry for the bad English

I downloaded the most recent .tar.gz from sourcefourge.net, but I have one doubt now: can I just install it over the one I installed form the .deb? Will the installer be intelligent enough to preserve configuration and the like? Will it mess up my system?Also, I wonder if those files from sourcefourge are recent enough. Would it be better to get the cvs version?thanks in forward, Jorge

If you are going from a Debian package to compiled-from-source, you MUST remove all wine packages first. I trust that your configuration will be preserved, but you may have to move it to ~/.wine (if it is now in /etc or /usr/share for example). Once you compile yourself, it is an easy step to use cvs. It is not required for this bug, that was solved some months ago. Rein. -- Rein Klazes rklazes@xs4all.nl
