Yes, google *could* help, but.... And, concise instructions for installing picasa 3.6 from wine in linux have been posted here recently five or six times. It is really simple for later linux versions, wine picasa36-setup.exe adding an alias or menu instance may pose new users more problem :^) -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
