I'm also new to wine, trying to get Office 2000 to work. I have a
Win98 box that I can grab files from, but I do not want to make a FAT
partition on my linux box.

Well, that would be easy - provided that you actually copy over a
*large* part of a Windows installation to ext2fs. Many office
versions are quite interconnected with Windows, so they really,
really, *really* need a large part of it.
I tried that and still couldn't make it work. I copied the entire
WINDOWS/SYSTEM folder to an ext2 directory. I tried substituting it
for the windows/system directory that wine installs, and I still got
the same "can't find windows installer" error. Can you be more
specific about what pieces of the Windows installation I need to copy,
and how to configure wine to use them properly?
Thanks!
Larry
