Re: wine problems

[Pawan Dev <pdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Sundeep for the answer. But I still can't make wine work. As I
installed
new KDE 1.1 from pcq cd, I couldn't start wine, it gives error :
permission
denied.
I am running as root.

 In the wine.conf file which is inside /usr/local/etc, there is lines -

[wine]
Windows=c:\windows
System=c:\windows\system
Temp=e:\
Path=c:\windows;c:\windows\system;e:\test;e:\;f:\
SymbolTableFile=./wine.sym

I don't find where to add entry. Do you mean to change the path section.

And, Why its not good to run wine as root?

I have mounted all my windows partions  as vfat.
Please suggest me .
