MAINLY with the widnows configurations registry. I really don't know how this works on wine... I think there might be some sort of regedit for wine... To convince the probgram you can run it with command line arguments... Really don't know how... but there should be something like registry="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/install/whatever/installed=1" or something like that (I'm just guessing... perhaps there is nothing like this.... I'm just talking about what is logical to be) Anyway... I have a copy of TA. and a few expansion packs (Core Contigency included)... I'll try it tomorrow (tonight I'm too tired). Also I'd like to play over internet with you... I like CORE and all CORE's world maps. (The metal ones)... I suck in mining... but I produce enough energy to have two vulcans fireing at the same time and the commander and five k-bots plus 2 planes helping build units too the vehicle plant and the k-bot lab and making another geothermal on a hill. We should play (though I'm a little rusty right now... It's been a long time since my last TA game) BTW: I use CC and 3.1 (the most common upgrade packages) Plus the EXCALIBUR (like in CRUSADE woth blue lasers and the head one is as strong as the D-GUN) and the YAMATO (huge carrier with blie lasers) (two HUGE units) You should look for them. I'll get MY CD's ASAP and install it... then I'll tell you what I did. Hope I helped. looking forward to hear from you soon.
