edit tools/wineinstall and look for the line that says
su -c"$sucommand" and put a space between -c and
"$sucommand" so it looks like this

su -c "$sucommand"

then re-run it

that is due to a bug in the sed script for finding the
real-windows c drive, i have a patch that i submitted
recently to fix that and the previous problem, but due
to a lack of extensive testing it was rejected, i have
fixed the problems and am about to resubmit
them...look for the emails with the subject
[PATCH FINALLY FIXED] tools/wineinstall
[PATCH FINALLY FIXED] tools/wineconf
[PATCH UPDATE] tools/wineshelllink *METHOD 1*
[PATCH UPDATE] tools/wineshelllink *METHOD 2*
[PATCH UPDATE] tools/wineshelllink *METHOD 3*
[PATCH UPDATE] tools/wineshelllink *METHOD 4*

the first 2 fix the wine install problems and the last
4 fix problems with menu items not being added in
redhat/debian/mandrake when using kde2

cheers,
