How should i apply > winedefault.reg using regapi? Much appreciated. regapi and winedefault.reg were not in the wine rpm with Mandrake 7.2. I hope they are now. Well, if Mandrake has seen the light and got somebody competent to put together their wine rpm, just find the files: rpm -ql wine |grep regapi rpm -ql wine |grep winedefault If either of those fails to find something, the Mandrake wine rpm is essentially worthless. If you find regapi but not winedefault.reg, I think there is wine source somewhere at www.winehq.com. You can get a winedefault.reg there, it is not awfully big. Or I can mail you one. regapi setValue -- -force <winedefault.reg Is how I do it. If you miss regapi, just uninstall the rpm, get the source and read the README all the way through before trying QUICK START. You need pretty near the entire gnu toolchain to build Wine. >From <wine>/ANNOUNCE: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/wine/development/Wine-20011108.tar.gz ftp://ftp.infomagic.com/pub/mirrors/linux/sunsite/ALPHA/wine/development/Wine-20011108.tar.gz ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/linux/mirrors/sunsite.unc.edu/ALPHA/wine/development/Wine-20011108.tar.gz ftp://orcus.progsoc.uts.edu.au/pub/Wine/development/Wine-20011108.tar.gz It should also be available from any other site that mirrors ibiblio.org.
