Has anybody had any success getting Jump Raven to install, much less run? I bought the game many years ago and thought I would try it out on Wine, seeing as it is a Windows 3.1 game and probably won't work in XP. Fedora Core 4 all updated except for the last kernel, wine-0.9.10 (Fedora's packaged version). I am running off of the CD at /media/cdecorder. The setup proceeds showing me a window saying "Initializing Setup..." and then an error message with "Insufficient memory or disk space". This is, of course, a completely bogus error. I have gigabytes of diskspace and lots of memory. Any suggestions on how I can run wine to try to debug this? Are Windows 3.1 applications even supported? Thanks in advance for any help.

Atleast it did that for me XD, so i had to set winxp in the registry to get it to run again.. don't ask me how i did that.. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

You are talking about setting $HOME to be on a loopback device? If not, how to force Wine to install or use "drive_c" on a loopback device instead of ~/.wine?> > - Todd > > On Wed, 2006-03-22 at 15:46 +0200, xyzzy1@hotpop.com wrote: > > Has anybody had any success getting Jump Raven to install, much less run? > > I bought the game many years ago and thought I would try it out on Wine, > > seeing as it is a Windows 3.1 game and probably won't work in XP. > > > > Fedora Core 4 all updated except for the last kernel, wine-0.9.10 > > (Fedora's packaged version). > > > > I am running off of the CD at /media/cdecorder.
