I know you can get a Linux distribution called "Knoppix" which runs off a CD, so you don't even need to install it. However, I'm not entirely certain how one would install wine on it. Most Linux distributions (I use Mandrake and Debian) have nice graphical installer wizards that any beginner can use. However, wine should be installed from source. I'm going to assume you don't know any Linux commands, so if you need help installing wine once you get Linux running, e-mail me privately and I'd be happy to help. I don't mind downloading/installing your game either, but if you want to go that route (and wait for me to do the debugging) you may have to wait a few days until I have the time. -----Original Message----- From: wine-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:wine-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Kevin Hertzberg Sent: April 28, 2005 12:56 PM To: Mike Hearn Cc: wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Probably a newbie problem, but my knowledge in Linux isso limited, so please Help!

The report of 440 "Automatition Error" is from one of the Linux testers. Only thing I could provide is the source code, since I'm under the impression that you (Mike) knows Visual Basic very well, spotting the problem will be easy if it's an "obvious" problem. Otherwise, I guess the only thing I can do is to get myself a copy of Linux. Has anyone any particular version to recommend for my purpose (install Linux and WINE as quickly as possible and find the bug)?
