Hi thanx for all the help, I found this solution worked for me.

This is a slight twist on Gino's post, he deserves all the credit :)

1 - install 3.0beta for linux (.deb downloaded from web)
2 - used the wine binaries included at this installation.... so:
cd /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin
./wine /home/<YOU>/Software/picasa36-setup.exe - use default install
location

3 - this installs at /home/<YOU>/.wine/drive_c but this is not our
objetive... so
su - (became root)
cd /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\/Google
rm -Rf Picasa*
cd /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin
./wine /home/feanor/Software/picasa36-setup.exe - this time change
install location to
   Z:\opt\google\picasa\3.0\wine\drive_c\Program Files\Google\Picasa3

Cheers,
Andrew
