Hi, I'm looking for a kind of manual, how to configure Wine via the Terminal in Ubuntu 9.10. I'm trying to get used to the shell and therefor I'm writing a script to install and configure my PC after having Ubuntu freshly installed. I have a Wine-backup, which I definitely have to use and found out a specific order to click the buttons in the Wine-configuration window to set up the devices properly. But now I want to auto-configure Wine in this exact order. Can anyone give me instructions, which commands to use and which file to change? PS: If you find any mistakes in my writing: Please ignore them, I'm a German who's preferred language is not english :) Help in German would be preferred... [Rolling Eyes] Bye, Sterndeuter

All you need is to create a registry file with whatever settings you need, then import it using regedit. You can find most Wine registry settings under HLCU\Software\Wine and HKLM\Software\Wine.
What does HLCU and HKLM mean? And where do I find this path?

If you have no idea about what that is and how that works - you'll have to educate yourself. This forum doesn't teach how to use Windows. If you want a dirty/simple solution - export all registry on clean Wine (see command line options for regedit). Do your configuration, then export registry again. Use 'diff -up' to find differences and create registry file to set all the required settings at once.
