One of the many reasons I am trying Linux is to see if my CDROM's will work using WINE. ---These CDROM's are fairly simple: graphics and *.wav file to teach French, so these would probably be supported, though I'm not certain.
My question, nutshell: What's the magic to configure WINE in my /home/kline directory? I copied the system-wide WINE config file... but now what?
Not too sure what you want to know... But here is what I have done and maybe you can work off it. First I've created a seperate partition for emulators (WINE UAE etc..) and have set up the following windows directories /emu/win/windows /emu/win/windows/system /emu/win/temp /emu/win/program files /emu/win/utils Copy the wine.conf to your home directory as .winerc and edit to include any necessary drives. I've included below a copy of my .winerc file. I'm in the process of updating it to work with the newest release of wine (wine20000526) that I grabbed a few days ago, so if it looks different that's why (and it may not work fully...). Up until now I've been using one that's been about 1 year old so hopefully this should get me up and running with newer apps?! Hope this helps.
