I clicked on the "Install your Rex 6000" and it gave me another screen - read and agree to license, then clicked on Next dialog button.

Whole installation process is hung at this point. From the messages above in the terminal window, I would guess that the process is waiting to access window 10021, which might be the progress bar (?). Somehow it is getting the wrong pointer, or perhaps doesn't know how to do progress bars (??). Looking at 'ps ax' below shows a number of wine related processes.

No wine processes before start, then processes as shown) In any case, no files have been written from cdrom to hd (but directories have been created). Any more suggestions? I'm game to try. BobG --- I clicked on debug and watched as the process repeated, with a lot more debug messages on the screen. It seemed like whenever I would move the mouse, more messages would be written to the screen, so the lines below probably have no relation to the real problem, but just are mouse tracks.
