actually i did manage to get it work work from the cd, you have to explicitly specify the -o unhide command when you run mount or put the unhide command in your /etc/fstab...
as for the files not getting written, i had the same problem, it is the .lnk files (that i assume go in the start menu on windows)...i am thinking that they aren't being properly converted to .desktop files or something. I will try installing with crossover office tonight and post the results tomorrow -Dustin --- Rizsanyi Zsolt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Wednesday 17 April 2002 21:42, Speeddymon wrote: > > I just recently installed wine-20020411 (as you > > may > > have noticed from my patch) > > I haven't tried installing Office 2000 on previous > > versions, but heard that it worked, so I decided > to > > try it.
