hi jamie! did you copy the config file from the soruces to your $HOMR/.wine/? you can find it in the documentation/samples/ folder. create a folder called ".wine"(this is a hidden folder) in you home dir and put the config file into it.
you have to edit this things to your mountpoints: [Drive A] "Path" = "/mnt/floppy" "Type" = "floppy" "Label" = "Floppy" "Serial" = "87654321" "Device" = "/dev/fd0" if you've got a windows partition, use it. there are all needed dlls installed and so on, most of the programs will work. if you don't have a windows partition, you've to create a fake windows ;) with windows partition: hust edit the path here to your win partition [Drive C] "Path" = "/mnt/win_c" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "MS-DOS" "Filesystem" = "win95" without: create folder fakewin on the root or somewhere else, you've to edit the path in the drive c section. [Drive C] "Path" = "/fakewin/" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "MS-DOS" "Filesystem" = "win95" you can copy these to things: [Drive E] "Path" = "/tmp" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "Tmp Drive" "Filesystem" = "win95" [Drive F] "Path" = "${HOME}" "Type" = "network" "Label" = "Home" "Filesystem" = "win95" these things are the most importent!!: [wine] "Windows" = "c:\windows" "System" = "c:\windows\system" "Temp" = "e:\" "Path" = "c:\windows;c:\windows\system;e:\;e:\test;f:\" "Profile" = "c:\windows\Profiles\Administrator" you've to edit the paths corectly! if you're using wine without a windows partition, you've to create all these folders on your own! if you dont, wine wont work! and thats the way the cookie crumbles ;) i did these things and wine worked. but my photoshop isnt working. version 6 AND 7 don't work! i could install them, but cannot start them... :( if you get it work, please let me know! hope it helpes greets from the caaaaalled sweitzerland ;) remo Zitat von Jamie Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Has anyone had any success at getting Wine to work properly. > I've compiled the source and installed it then ran winesetuptk but I can't > seem to get any Windows programs to work. > I will soon try to migrate all of my PC stuff to Linux based programs as I > want to get windows off my pc ASAP. > I want to use Photoshop and a few other programs like Acid and Sound Forge. > If I had the cash I would get Crossover Office but I don't so any links or > help would be much appreciated. > > Cheers > > Jamie Taylor > > P.S. please do not say use The Gimp because I am used to Photoshop and I > don't > like The Gimp's user interface. > >
