(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22680) I while back I tried out the AppDB (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20158) suggestion of installing to Windows and copying the install over to your Linux box. I used Windows XP Pro (32-bit) - I already had this installed in a VM. Worked first time. PS CS5 runs a bit slow (no GPU acceleration) but looked otherwise reasonably OK (with a few bugs). Still working I see with Wine 1.5.2 (just tried running it again)... If you want to wait for Wine to do the whole installation - sign up for email alerts on that bug. Bob
