I'm using wine-20030911 for Mandrake on a Mandrake 9.1 system. I've upgraded the kernel to 2.4.21-0.25, but other than that, it's what shipped with Mandrake. I've had no problems getting the March, May, July, August, and current stable versions to work. That's not to say that different things work slightly differently with each version, and that some things worked better with previous installations than are working now, as well as the reverse. But I've had no problems getting wine itself installed and working. I've not done anything special. Well, okay, I always completely remove the previous wine installation before each new install. Also, I'm using a real win98se partition and not the fake_windows partition. A third thing is that I'm using the XWine frontend that came with the Mandrake PowerPack (which I upgraded in September from the XWine site). I've found that it simplifies for someone like myself (who would just as soon not know what's going on really) configuring each application. I have gotten my rpms from http://digilander.libero.it/winehqitalia because Ivan compiles his on a Mandrake 9.1 system. However, my most recent one came from somewhere else. Where, I can't remember. It was however also compiled for a Mandrake system. I'm sure I got the reference for it here, though. Probably someone else remembers it. deedee -- Visit "WordStar & GNU/Linux" http://www.wordstar2.com Also, see the WordStar Users Group http://www.wordstar2.com/cbabbage/wordstar _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
