Self compiled or prepackaged? Hi Daniel, Thanks for the info. I think I'll have a look at implementing support for the IOCTLs in Wine. The app is something we wrote that takes backups of system drives, mainly Windows systems. We ported it from DOS around 12 months ago and have been using the MS PE Win32 boot disk to perform restores. I've been tinkering around with some small Linux distros for a few days and prefer them to MS PE. If I can get the app running on a Linux boot disk I'll be very happy :o) Many Thanks, Mark _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
