Is there any documentation that instructs a beginner how to configure (and the logic behind) wine and the steps necessary to install windows software? I have the user's guide but it does lack much, particularly what is going on. I am using ubuntu 6.06 and have presumably installed wine correctly. However, I cannot configure the system. A typical error message is, upon invoking winecfg, is: Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible.Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/rfell', star ting in the Windows directory. Any help is more than appreciated. Thanks, Dick Fell Richard N. Fell Fisher School of Physics Brandeis University Waltham, Ma 02454

Try 'rm -fr ~/.wine' If that doesn't help, there is something wrong with your wine installation.
