[newbie] WINE Question
Okay, I just completed my wine.conf file and ran Adobe Acrobat with it. I then decided to open up Astroship Evader. I typed in the following: wine /mnt/win_c/Astroship Evader/Astroship Evader.exe I then got the following: cannot find file "/mnt/win_c/Astroship" Obviously, it does like the spaces in the file names. Tell me, how do I overcome this problem? could you please tell me how to retype the above command to launch it? Thanks! Joe

Re: [newbie] question about mandrake probs..
Help!!! Okay, I just downloaded and installed Mandrake 7.2, but a problem quickly arose. I have no access to any of my drives except my zip (/dev/hdb4). My floppy drive, my DVD, and my CD-Writer don't work. When I go to open them I get a message telling me something about not having read/write priveleges for the device. This does it in root as well. How do I overcome this? Help me!!! Thanks in advance, Joe.

Boy, I've had problems with mine as well. I have an HP 9100 and a Toshiba DVD. For the longest time it would not recognize my CD-RW. I finally found out that if you recompile the kernel with SCSI emulation on "y" (not "m") that it works perfectly. Joe
Re: [newbie] Um... HELP!?
You might have a problem there. You might want to look into buying the complete version of Powerquest PartitionMagic. If you decide to use DiskDrake, you may lose some data. However, I resized my Windows partition with it and it works okay, but I don't know. I don't know how to use the fips tool (I think it is nondestructive ). Anyway, make sure you place it between the windows and linux / partitions and within the 1023 cylinder limit. Joe
