Hi, I want to have a bootable version of WINE (say on CD or USB drive). This is so I can fix my Windows XP installation. The cause of the problem may be that an advertising program was put onto my instllation and Microsoft says to get rid of it by running regedit which cannot be run from Window's recovery console. It appears that some years ago Knoppix used to include WINE but the latest version does not. Does anyone know of a bootable version of WINE which I image would have to include Linux? Thanks for any help.

Pick one as your base, then just build and/or install Wine like normal on it. Or, pick a distro that includes Wine by default. Remember, Google is your friend! We're here in case you have problems with Wine itself. By the way, this won't solve your root problem. Wine doesn't support the binary registry hive format used by Windows XP. I'm sorry, but you'll just have to find another way. And no, running the Windows-native Registry Editor won't help. It just calls the Windows APIs that support registry manipulation (which, I reiterate, don't support the native registry hive format). Chip
Wine won't solve this. Safe mode might.
