I just tried installine WineX on my 9.1 box last night
for the 3rd time.  Was following the instructions on 

http://www.geocities.com/desktopmandrake/wine.htm

Unfotunately I kept getting the "no socket file" error
every time I tried to start it.  A quick google search
showed that typing "wineserver" before launching wine
might help.  Sure enough it did.  However it wasn't
with problems... Starcraft locked up in Battle net
after I joined a game and started to download a map. 
Counter-Strike (Retail) locked up after the main
screen came up.  A couple questions for ya all:

Have any of you had lockups with WineX like I did?  If
so, how did u resolve them?

How is the purchased RPM on Mandrake 9.1?  I thought I
remember hearing that the compiled version was best
for Mandrake 9.1?

Any other input about Wine/WineX on Mandrake 9.1
appreciated ! =)

I've never run a windows emulator before and I wanted
to see if I could get 
some Blizzard (StarCraft, WarCraft etc...) games to
run under Mandrake 9.1

What I discovered is that 9.1 comes with only 1
emulator (that I've found 
so far) and it is a freakin Alpha.  We were not
amused.

So.  What is the best way to do this?
