I didn't know something could get a rating of "Garbage" http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=213 but clicking around, it also got Gold... but but that is for an old version of everything. I would try current versions. With Ubuntu, it is dirt simple - like put the CD in, maybe click setup.exe, and get an "install wine?" dialog.. more clicking, and next thing you know setup is wizzing away. -- Carl K _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
