OK, I have no reason to distrust you, but all I read here pixels pretending to be emails from the Wild West of the Internet. One gunslinger tells me do it this way. Another gunslinger tells me do it that way.
As I mentioned, these changes are very new, so any information more than a month or so old is suspect.
What's a user supposed to do? RTFM? I did. It's wrong? Bummer...
Well, that is why the Wine ANNOUNCE file, in the second sentence, says "This is still a developers only release". When significant changes like this are happening, the docs fall behind. Presumably, they will eventually catch up.
You could always speed up the process by making corrections to the docs. Anyone can submit patches.
What Wine ANNOUNCE file? I installed from an RPM provided via the WineHQ site. rpm -Uvh wine-20040914-... Maybe I missed a message when RPM was running, but I don't know anything as a user about an ANNOUNCE file.
Those building from source very posibly do, and this by itself could be a good reason to do that.
I will be happy to supply eithe patches to docs or new docs as I learn things.
I noted yesterday that the default config file includes no definitions for Windows drives. I had to start adding those by hand.
That won't do any good. Wine will ignore drive definitions in the config file. Drives are now defined by symbolic links in ~/.wine/dosdevices.
OK, but running wine regedit did pay attention to what I was putting into .wine/config. If I added a definition then it showed up in browse dialogs and the like, so what am I supposed to do/trust/take for my headache?
Hmm, are you sure about that? I just tried it here, and Wine completely ignored any definitions added to the config file.
I'm no longer sure about anything but most likely I was wrong. My machine is complicated:
Gentoo: CXO - Ver. 3.0.1 WineX Wine-20040505 from source to run jack_fst
FC2: RPM wine-20040914
I wanted to leave my Quicken installation alone under Gentoo and do everything new under Fedora. I figured it would be a better test since there should be no conflicts. I may have mistaken where I'm doing things. I was booted into Gentoo earlier this morning but have jsut changed over to Fedora. Let's just do a reset and move forward.
Thanks
