There is no way i am the only person that has had this problem but i cant find it. System: Ubuntu 8.04 with Wine 1.0rc2 Now i installed with the package manager. I then went to view my C: drive and nothing happend.....Then went to my home folder and looked for .wine and couldnt find it Uninstalled then Reinstalled still wasn't there. bit confused why lol works on every other comp i have ever installed EVER. Now that i say this maybe its not running with root access or something (even though the package manager asks for the password) maybe ill try sudo apt-get BRB

Run any wine app, that will create the c drive: $ wine notepad or if you don't want to run an app: $ wineboot

There are several problems with running Wine as root or whatever you named it. Follow the suggestions of others given here. NEVER, EVER RUN WINE AS ROOT. Installing it as root is a different scenario and should be followed. James McKenzie

I was thinking maybe it installed and didnt get permission to right or something BUT THEN apt-get bitches that it cant if you try so you have to ... I DIDNT run it as root i didnt install it with root. I DIDNT run wine with sudo. ...... the words i used where not the correct ones. I understand that but i dont need 7 billion people yelling the same stupid thing i didnt say lol. Most of the times my speech can get confusing.
To bind to a port under 1024 is a capability switch. There is no need that simple other than to set permissions on applications or install applications any other reason to be as root is wrong.
