Have just installed Wine, version wine.1.2-0.RC4.1pclos2010.i586,rpm. Also did the Wine Gecko install, manually, as was suggested by pclos, in accordance with the Wine Wiki page. All of this seems to work, and I can get the Notepad to work, and to print, so it sort of looks like Windows. But it seems to be installed on the E: drive--at least that's where most everything defaults to. There's a C: and a Z: I can access from the Wine command prompt. The File Manager opens in the E: drive, and if there's a way to look at a different "drive" I can't find it. Disk>Select Drive produces "not yet implemented." I can look at C: E: and Z: in the console, pardon me, command prompt. I can do dir, I can md, on these. The configurator shows: A: /mnt/floppy C: ../drive_c D: /mnt/cdrom E: /home/doug Z: / I cannot access A: or D:, even when there is software in those actual drives (i.e., floppy and CD). Trying to access them from the command prompt says "path not found." I have printed and read the User Guide and the FAQ and I don't see anything to help. Without the floppy or the CD, I can't install anything at all. So now what? Thanx in advance-- doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M. Greeley

It sounds like you're still thinking of everything in Windows terms and need to familiarize yourself with your new OS.

If either floppy or CD doesn't automount (and I'd be surprised if the floppy automounts) you'll have to mount the disk before you can read it and remember to unmount it after use before you remove it from the drive. In this case, use the mount point that Wine is expecting. If either CD or floppy automounts to a different place, change the wine configuration to match the actual mount point. Recent Fedora distros automount CDs and USB mass storage devices as /media/LABEL where "LABEL" is the disk's volume name so its likely that pclinuxos does the same, in which case it may be easier to manually mount the disk so you can specify the name of the mount point to match the wine configuration.
