Thinking that at least the absence of any offerings from wine > programs meant something, I put TopoUSA2008 into a USB DVD drive plugged directly into the same machine (the Thinkpad30, which has a serial port, and runs F8). I told it to install. It gave me a choice of remove or repair -- *not* install. Having tried repair last time it did that, and failed, I told it remove. It started showing a graph telling how much it was *adding*. I used the workspace switcher to go to a terminal (already open), did uname -a, went back -- and it froze. I force-killed it and tried again. This time it finished quickly, telling me it had *repaired* the app. But it demanded adobe, so I force-killed it again. It's not in the program listing -- there is none. -- 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.
