So I'm a new ubuntu user trying to make the leap. I got tired of rebuilding xp systems that my g/f destroyed with malware and viruses every 6 months. Trying to get rosetta stone v3 (german) to work using wine 1.0. I get the following error... robertturner@laptop1:~$ cd / robertturner@laptop1:/$ ls bin dev initrd lib mnt root sys var boot etc initrd.img lost+found opt sbin tmp vmlinuz cdrom home initrd.img.old media proc srv usr vmlinuz.old robertturner@laptop1:/$ cd /cdrom robertturner@laptop1:/cdrom$ ls 1031.mst 1036.mst 1042.mst autorun.inf logo.ico 1033.mst 1040.mst 2052.mst Data1.cab Rosetta Stone V3.msi 1034.mst 1041.mst AdbeRdr70_enu_full.exe DiscInfo.txt setup.exe robertturner@laptop1:/cdrom$ wine setup.exe wine: created the configuration directory '/home/robertturner/.wine' Could not load Mozilla.

Any thoughts? I'm going to try two things ripping an iso and updating wine. I'd appreciate any help. Rob
