Gentlemen,

I've come to you because I'm absolutely stumped.

Although it may make sense to you I'm buggered if I can work it out, the
documentation for the wine emulation is just utter tripe to me, can't
make heads or tails of what to do on a step by step basis to get the
bastard to work for me.

Can you please help?

I'll probably need a copy of a wine.conf file to get going with this
because I just don't know how to break into the system to get it going,
I've read the howto's over and over, but it unfortunatley just does not
add up.

My situation is;

AMD k2 500
512 M ram
IDE 1 = linux mandrake 7.2 4.2 gb fujitsu
IDE 2 = Win 98 B 20 gb seagate
IDE 3 = CDROM Burner Diamond data CDRW 40x16x10
IDE 4 = 50 x CD ROM

I don't think hardware is a problem...

I've put that wine.conf has:

[Drive C]
"Path" = /mnt/windows           (this is how it appears in konqueror)
"Type" = "hd"                   (it is a hard drive 20 gb, lba)
"Label" = "windows"             (this is the label of the drive)
"Filesystem" = "win98"          (this is the file system, is this valid? -
should it be                                    win95?)

saved it to disk and tried running a win-app - myob.exe as root using;

wine c:\windows\myob10\myob.exe, or
from /mnt/windows/myob10;
wine myob.exe, or
wine sol.exe (from root)

and from all the postions the kharma sutra could describe...with my
tongue in the right corner of my mouth, but nothing works, not even my
charming bedside manner.

So, it could be like me trying to learn how to play a violin, there is
always a crucial step you don't know when trying to teach yourself..

what am I missing??

your assistance would be deeply appreciated.

Nicholas Tomlin.
