I have tried installing various GPS/topo map software suites on four Fedora machines under wine. On three of them, the install claims to succeed; the suite fails even to launch; I try to uninstall it; the uninstall either admits failure, or pretends to succeed while leaving the software still there and clickable (but, of course, not launchable). On one, I then ran a Fedora search (beagle, I suppose) against the filesystem, checking for any such software still there; found none; did "yum remove wine" followed by "yum install wine" -- and found the new wine still offering the worthless installs. Sometimes, in fact, the install tries to *re*-install, even though I have called it in the first place from wine's uninstall function. I realize the fault is most likely in Windows (XPPro/SP2 here), or in the software itself. But even so, there must be a way for linux to trash the whole b'ilin' and start over .... -- 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.
