After reading the LINUX magazine I thought I'd give WINE another go (I tried it months, possibly years ago). I could not get it to install on my lap top (which never mapped the \ key correctly - is there the equiv of Char map on LINUX?). But the SUSE installation on the school LINUX box had it installed. 'Could not stat /mnt/fd0' - although I don't understand why not as mount and umount works OK by hand. Then 'Invalid path c:\windows' - after I had created /c and /c/windows and /c/windows/system. I understood that unless I was using a genuine windows partition with windows DLLs etc. WINE would use its own. What am I missing?

Part of the problem I think is that you need to make the correct entries for the windows directory, the drive a: etc in wine.conf or your personal .winerc On Sat, 25 Nov 2000, Alan Davies wrote:
