With snarls and curses and gnashing of teeth, I still keep one laptop and one dual-bootable PC hard drive with XPProSP2 installed. (Everything else is Fedora 10.) I do so purely for one class of apps, proprietary map software. Wine can now install and run at least one, and the most important, of the four suites of such apps that I have. (That one is Garmin MapSource, including Topo US 2008. XP <gnash> also runs Delorme, Maptech and topo.com.) The one thing Wine can't do yet, afaict, is get the software to talk to my GPSs. XP of course does; I just hate running it. The Garmin mapware is useful under Wine for many things; but it would be a lot more so if I could at least get the data I have added so far to it into the Wine installation. Could this be done? I know nothing of actually connecting M$ machines to linux ones; but could I perhaps burn a CD on one of the XP machines, and then read it with Wine and copy that data in?? If so, how? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
