In this account I have a Transgaming installation, but no Wine installation. (I.e. - no .wine directory) I start winetools in a terminal and see: [mark@Godzilla mark]$ wt ls: /home/mark/.wine/dosdevices/: No such file or directory Wine wine: creating configuration directory '/home/mark/.wine'... wine: '/home/mark/.wine' created successfully. 20041019 /usr/local/bin/wt: line 24: cd: /home/mark/.wine/c/: No such file or directory wine is executed as "setarch i386 wine" Parameters are "" /usr/local/bin/wt: line 1445: [: too many arguments Version of Wine is OK. Calls to wine are executed as "setarch i386 wine". Config is /home/mark/.wine/winetools.log. CDROM is . I dont like the comment about line 1445. What's that about? At this point I now have a .wine directory with reasonable files as contents. I have not looked into any of the files. The dos_devices directory shows c: And z: and I have the About WineTools page up. I say OK and get the intro box telling me to do Base Setup. I say OK and choose Base Setup. The first option is 'Create a fake Windows drive'. Not sure if I should choose this (don't I have one already?) but I do. I choose to remove existing Wine configuration. It does some work and comes back to me. Good so far. I now have lots of stuff under dos_devices. Ariel Font installed... DCOM98 installed... At this point I want to install IE6SP1. Is your download in German or English? This look very good so far. I'll wait for a reply about where to download English if I need to. - Mark _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
