Hi list,
Every time before I post a problem or question, I try to upgrade my wine to the latest version (as I was told to do at the beginning).
Well I'm going on to my 5th or 6th new version of wine. As an experienced Windows user (and a fairly new, but OK Linux user) I am concerned about the effect on my computer of simply installing wine after wine after wine. I seem to recall copying files all over the place and I'm sure by now it must be a mess. Alas my applications Dreamweaver and Fireworks still are not working.
If you stick with always using packages from the same source, or always compiling, then there really is no reason to be concerned. Yes, you may end up with a few stray files, but it is mostly just a small amount of wasted disk space.
If you switch from, say, a packaged version of Wine to compiling from source, then definitely uninstall the old version first.
For what it is worth, I have been compiling and installing Wine from source (CVS) frequently for almost 5 years, and have never uninstalled it first.
