	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.
