After IIRC, It's worth nothing that WineSetuptk is deprecicated (meaning it doesn't exist for newer versions) and no longer supported, and although you can't download it from wineHQ anymore, your distro (FC2) may or may not have some old rpms/packages with it. (My distro, Debian, distributes in one version 2 year old wine packages, and in others, 6 and 1 month old packages.) I believe the replacement is called WineConf or WineConfig or something, although I have no experience with it yet and have no idea how to use it whatsoever - someone else should be able to help you there. However, be warned that WineSetuptk-supported packages are ancient code, that maybe 40% or 60% or 80% of the apps supported now (in the last release and/or CVS) won't run in your wine setup. As such, if you come back to this list to report the error, and tell us what version you're using, you may end up being told to upgrade to the last release and/or CVS. > you download it, install it.

Avoid doing this using a native NTFS partition, because NTFS read/write support hasn't been stabalized, and even though you *could* enable it in the kernel (not sure about wine) it would be extemely dangerous, and you could end up wiping out your XP partition altogether. > > however, I am of the understanding that I > > do not need a licensed and installed copy of DOS or MS Windows to > > install, configure and run Wine. Technically, no. However, having the licence / dual boot is very handy, since that means you're legally allowed (I think) to download MS dlls, progs, etc. (i.e. IE, DCOM98, etc.) that have recently been referred to has "OS Components", for use on that same pc.

C:\My Documents C:\Program Files C:\Windows C:\Recycled C:\Temp C:\Windows C:\Windows\Fonts C:\Windows\Favorites C:\Windows\System C:\Windows\System32 C:\Windows\Temp C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files etc. whereas on the linux fs, replace \ with /, and replace c:\ with ( for example, /var/lib/wine, /home/user/.wine/fake_windows, etc. ). > > Type=hd > > > > Windows=c:\windows > > System=c:\windows\system > > Temp=e:\ BTW, this line implys you have something mounted on e: - you know that, right?
