Fwiw, I got wine by yum install, iirc. My .wine is in /home/btth ; I get : [root@localhost ~]# cd /home/btth [root@localhost btth]# ln -s /dev/ttyS0 com1 ln: creating symbolic link `com1': File exists [root@localhost btth]# ls|grep .wine [root@localhost btth]# cd .wine [root@localhost .wine]# cd dosdevices [root@localhost dosdevices]# ln -s /dev/ttyS0 com1 ln: creating symbolic link `com1': File exists I deleted it, and ran the command again.But even after closing and re-opening the map software, telling it to find a GPS still gets me a failure. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, Opera 9, Firefox 2 & 3 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
