Sorry - because you mentioned you are also running Win98SE I thought you have a CPU more close to 400MHz - with the config you mentioned wine should compile much faster. > thats a lot of work No it is not ;p - it may seem that way because I gave pretty long instructions - but in reality (assuming you have all dependencies installed) it all comes down to download and unpack source and call ./configure && make;sudo checkinstall ->next, next,next
