What soundcard do you have nadim? Remember, Arabbix is using a memory-centric filesystem. In any case, mplayer + mplayer video plugins would not be too much to add. > f.

What did you have in mind there ? Since I am on dial-up and cannot test Arabbix I do not know of the state of this. I am willing to bet you are missing a wine configuration file (usually in ~/.wine). Use wineconfig (get it from freshmeat) to pre-configure wine or do it by hand. You may then use wincfg to further configure wine. After this, use the wine(1) command to launch an executable. http://www.kerneled.com/doc/man/freebsd/man1/wine.html http://www.kerneled.com/doc/man/freebsd/man5/wine.conf.html > i.
