Use a fake one. Using a real one allows you to use original microsoft dlls, fonts and registry, but you can't do that if your windows os is read only. Also, wine only works well with windows 95/98/me, so using a fake installation is the best option for you. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
