I appreciate your help as I begin to understand Wine. I tried installing a program from CD. InstallShield runs (which is really cool to see it working in Linux!!:) ..but it bombs out fairly soon. The message is that some components cannot be found. Now, I'm lost. The question is, do I need to install WIN 98 completely ?? -Fernando

So that is the program your trying to install? There are several ways of successfully installing IE6.> InstallShield runs (which is really cool to see it working in Linux!!:) > ..but it bombs out fairly soon. > The message is that some components cannot be found. > Now, I'm lost. > The question is, do I need to install WIN 98 completely ??No way.
