Do you know whether it's a FAT, VFAT or FAT32 partition? Next I downloaded both the wine and itcl rpm's from Codeweavers' site, and installed them both. Now is where the problems begin... I don't remember if I got the menu before or after running winesetup. You did grab the correct RPM, right? I seem to recall them having one for RH6x and one for RH7.x. Also, what version of Gnome? So, from a command line, I ran: winesetup. The setup program ran, but failed to recognize my windows partition. I tried to set up the fake_windows directory, but I pointed it towards /mnt/windows. It then said to make sure that I configure the drives and paths options further down the road. When I got to drives, I specified that the c: drive had a path of /mnt/windows and a Device of /dev/hda1 That sounds good. Though in the .wine/config file, what type of volume is showing for that setup? Under paths, everything seemed ok. except profile was blank, so I put in: c:\Profiles\All Users
Next, I went to run a program (Word, then Excel, then all others). Seeing as I had no menu options, I just used the file manager to browse to the winword.exe file on my windows partition, and double clicked it. That's when wine failed with an error 2. I viewed the log and this is what it said: I had that problem as well sometimes! One thing that does work (as I had to do last night) was to cd into that directory and manually do a "wine winword.exe" on the command line. That worked better for me. I received this same message for every program I tried to run. I checked Codeweavers' site, and it appears that part of the problem is that wine didn't recognize the entry in fstab for my windows partition - any idea why? I think the default is that all volumes are "win95", but you may actually have a FAT32 or VFAT volume. Also, I couldn't find any idea why there were no menu entries added to my Gnome menu as Leonard demonstrated last night - even there site seems to assume that will happen. I don't know how that menu gets loaded other than by installers. I am sure there is a script or something, but I haven't found it yet :(.
