What is that? I think the Howto >page doesn't mention we need to provide any password. That's the password of the root account on your computer. Usually you're not logged in as root but as a normal user (at least you should be). But the install needs root rights to access areas that are usually not accessible for normal users. So just enter here the password you need when you login to your computer as root. If you don't know the password ask the one that setup your computer. If that's you and you forgot the password... bad luck :) bye Fabi _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
