installed libx11-dev, then manually checked and installed all the required packages in the Recommended_Packages (http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages) page for debian
ran ./tools/wineinstall
said no to
Code:
configure. Finished. Do 'make depend && make' to compile wine.
We need to install wine as root user, do you want us to build wine,
'su root' and install Wine? Enter 'no' to continue without installing


because i want to install it as a .deb, with checkinstall
the file checkinstallrc defaults to being called checkinstallrc-dist for some reason
so after editing it no changes took place until it was renamed
then set checkinstallrc to
Code:
BASE_TMP_DIR=/home/user/A/partition6
DOC_DIR="/media/A/partition6/"
PAK_DIR="/media/A/partition6/"


ran gparted & made a 2gb ext2 partition on my 60gb ext hard drive
then cd to /media/A/partition6/wine-1.1.21
su + password/checkinstall
& it built a debian package quite quickly

Code:
Done. The new package has been saved to
/media/A/partition6//wine_1.1.21-1_i386.deb
You can install it in your system anytime using:
dpkg -i wine_1.1.21-1_i386.deb


installed the deb, ran wine cfg

Code:
/home/user> apt-cache policy wine
wine:
  Installed: 1.1.21-1
  Candidate: 1.1.21-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.1.21-1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.1.1~winehq0~debian~4.0-1 0
        700 http://wine.budgetdedicated.com etch/main Packages
     1.0.0-1+eeepc2 0
        975 http://updates.xepc.org p701/main Packages
     0.9.25-2.1 0
        900 http://xnv4.xandros.com etch/main Packages
        500 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org etch/main Packages


so happy after days of frustration, err sorry learning
it works beautifully, and runs the proprietary software, though will test it again!

most of the issues were down to the tiny 4gb drive on the eee
checkinstall couldn't deal with the space in the usb drive name
(/home/user/DataTraveler 2.0/kingston_2)
no combination of quotes ""/''/ or backslash would get round it
all build/compile/extract etc had to be routed externally

thanks so much James for your help, and most of all for giving me the push to give it a go! :D
