Okay. There were some do or die situations, but nothing more complicated than using the right installers. I began by compiling the most recent (at the time) stable tarball (Wine-20030709.tar.gz) from the Wine website. Then I followed the instructions on said website to configure Wine without a Windows partition. Then I installed the bare bones version of Buzz, at the time it was called buzz_base_install.exe but it appears they have renamed it the "buzz stealth pack". Whatever. The point is I couldn't install the "massive" pack, it would just hand until I killed the process. For reference my Linux audio system is ALSA only (no OSS). The three things that didn't work: 1) Don't configure Wine as root and don't run Wine without configuring it first. 2) The version of Wine I pulled out of Gentoo Linux's ebuild tree did not work with Buzz. 3) Don't open the audio preferences dialog box in Buzz. If it doesn't work by default, it doesn't work. Opening this preference will only crash the program since it's looking for a bunch of Windows shit. Other than that the program works fine with all the bare bones machines. I haven't tried fancy stuff like soundfonts and VST plugins but the tracker and soft synths are great. -l[e^2] ------------------------------ http://www.fallingforward.net/ people experimenting with music, art and technology On Fri, 22 Aug 2003, Dave Phillips wrote: > Lee Azzarello wrote: > > > I'm using Buzz under Wine.
