I just had tried out the other day the version coming in Knoppix 5.0.1 (I have installed it on hard disk for some other reasons) and TB runs much better then with previous Wine version(s). Installation consists of copying Bat's folder (and its Mail sub-folder at the default place, otherwise will hardly work) in the /.wine/fake_windows directorium (or in "/.wine/fake_windows/Program Files", if someone prefers), and then just typing in anywhere "wine thebat.exe". (The /fake_windows folder is the equivalent to the Windows' C:\, the "root" folder of the "drive C", for those who are puzzled what we talk about.) All other methods of installation are more complicated and less successful. And yes, prior to that, you have to export Bat's .reg file, and then to import it via Wine into the fake Registry ("wine regedit.exe"), that is if you want your settings and the rest (p)reserved. And prior to that, yes, you have to run winetools, to make this fake windows environment firstly (Start (the button) | Emulators | Winetools). (-: It will take few seconds more. *** Knoppix is very easy to install on HD and takes about 20 minutes. You just type in... sudo ./knoppix-installer ...and it makes the whole system on HDD, entirely "tweaked" like on the live CD, which means excellently. Bestially stable and precise system (also very good looking), one of the best done Linuxes around (despite the author's, Her Knopper's, disclaimer that it is still in very experimental, therefore not of the cell division, menstrual, lunar and so, phase). - -- Mica ~~~ For personal mail please use my address as it is *exactly* given in my "From" field, otherwise it will not reach me. ~~~ GPG keys/docs/software at: http://blueness.port5.com/pgpkeys/ http://tronogi.tripod.com/pgp/pgpkeys/ [Earth LOG: 670 day(s) since v3.0 unleashing] OSs: Windows 98 SE Micro Lite Professional IVa Enterprise Millennium Windows XP(ee) Micro Lite Professional 1.6, Gentoo & Vector ~ Wine -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6-svn-4217 <>o<> tiger192 i686 (Cygwin/MinGW32) iQEVAwUBRSroBrSpHvHEUtv8AQjA2Af/emg0Pc5IGIfyAyG7UKt6HqR4XJ0dK0V5 DlBOcgTjpy7VDqT6nIQEzDwPz5C/qrfDWqoMhSL7BgUR3t1Brw3iuzt3HF73Gp9Q sWATAqHHNwTd9FRgRpVwp+4tnlo/8OL3cKVRBq6VO7PJDcQCaQEjXqpGr7BoDBEi voN5/MoYEdzoGYx9RM12jmYEFGqmgvUbQeuB2ddoZ1IfxzAcqTq+Pgzf7Ql4iCZZ sjvh3R5EeJnku/3j1QblGBRWaHwj7urS1XoHOeqUSYfy76uwuveM7gtMMOG2z442 utzYshwDlSrvz8lrpoYmohufbbN2TeJ4HU0J0lEZJB4DzfO2TprMkg== =u8mp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
