wine without w*nd*ws

[Alle Meije Wink]

Hi,

I don't have any w*nd*ws installation on my system, but I want to use
wine to install MatLab.

The problem is that the Java installer (prerequisite) crashes:


/usr/local/wine$ wine /tmp/j2sdk-1.4.2-nb-3.5-bin-windows.exe

Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
fixme:process:CreateProcessA
(E:\LRE6399.tmp\win32-intel-sun-jre131-no-i18n.exe,...):
CREATE_NO_WINDOW ignored
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler (0x408630,1) - no error checking or
testing yet
fixme:process:CreateProcessA (E:\LRE6399.tmp\bin\java.exe,...):
CREATE_NO_WINDOW ignored
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
wine: Unhandled exception (thread 000e), starting debugger...
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:


Winecheck gives me:


/usr/local/wine$ tools/winecheck
This script verifies the configuration of the whole Wine environment.
Note that this is an ALPHA version, and thus it doesn't catch all
problems !
The results of the checks are printed on the right side:
OK         - test passed without problems.
NOTICE      - Not a problem but something for the user to be aware of.
SUSPICIOUS - potentially problematic. You might want to look into that.
BAD        - This is a problem, and it leads to configuration score
penalty.
CRITICAL   - A critical problem which can easily lead to malfunction.
FAILED     - This problem leads to Wine failure almost certainly.

The result will be printed as a percentage score indicating config
completeness.


------------------------- checking miscellaneous stuff
-------------------------
001. Checking for root user...                              OK.

--------------------------- checking Wine base files
---------------------------
002. Checking for file "wine"...                            OK.
003. Checking for correct .so lib config (please wait)...   SUSPICIOUS
(libwine.so found 2 times: /usr/local/lib/libwine.so
/usr/local/lib/libwine.so).
- ADVICE: check whether this is really ok.

----------------------------- checking config file
-----------------------------
004. Checking config file access...                         OK.

>>> Checking drive A settings:
005.  Checking Path option...                               SUSPICIOUS
(/mnt/fd0 does not exist !).
- ADVICE: create this directory or point Path to a real directory.
006.  Checking Type option...                               OK.
007.  Checking device /dev/fd0...                           OK.
008.  Checking Filesystem option...                         OK.
--> PROBLEM.

>>> Checking drive C settings:
009.  Checking Path option...                               OK.
010.  Checking Type option...                               OK.
011.  Checking Filesystem option...                         OK.
--> OK.

>>> Checking drive D settings:
012.  Checking Path option...                               OK.
013.  Checking Type option...                               OK.
014.  Checking device /dev/cdrom...                         OK.
015.  Checking Filesystem option...                         OK.
--> OK.

>>> Checking drive E settings:
016.  Checking Path option...                               SUSPICIOUS
(directory /tmp/.wine-root is not accessible for you).
- ADVICE: If your user account is supposed to be able to access
it properly, use chmod as root to fix it ("man chmod"). If that doesn't
help, change mount options in case of VFAT ("umask" option).
017.  Checking Type option...                               OK.
018.  Checking Filesystem option...                         OK.
--> PROBLEM.

>>> Checking drive F settings:
019.  Checking Path option...                               OK.
020.  Checking Type option...                               OK.
021.  Checking Filesystem option...                         OK.
--> OK.

>>> Checking drive Z settings:
022.  Checking Path option...                               SUSPICIOUS
(/ is not writable for you).
- ADVICE: If your user account is supposed to be able to access
it properly, use chmod as root to fix it ("man chmod"). If that doesn't
help, change mount options in case of VFAT ("umask" option).
023.  Checking Type option...                               OK.
024.  Checking Filesystem option...                         OK.
--> PROBLEM.

--------------------- checking system devices used by Wine
---------------------
025. Checking sound device /dev/dsp...                      OK.
026. Checking audio mixer device /dev/mixer...              OK.
027. Checking MIDI sequencer device /dev/sequencer...       BAD
(/dev/sequencer is not readable for you).
- ADVICE: If your user account is supposed to be able to access
it properly, use chmod as root to fix it ("man chmod").

----------------------- checking registry configuration
------------------------
028. Checking availability of winedefault.reg entries...    CRITICAL
(entry "SHAREDMEMLOCATION" not found in system.reg registry file).
- ADVICE: file winedefault.reg, the most basic wine registry
environment, doesn't seem to have been applied using regedit.
029. Checking availability of windows registry entries...   NOTICE
(entry "Default Taskbar" not found).
- ADVICE: A Windows registry does not seem to have been added to Wine as
this typical Windows registry entry does not exist in Wine's registry. 
A complete original Windows registry entry set will *not* be available
with a no-windows install. Usually this will present no problem in
running applications although this can affect newer programs. Feel free
to ignore this message in case you do use a Windows registry, but have
the SaveOnlyUpdatedKeys config setting set to N..

29 tests. 4 suspicious, 1 bad, 1 critical, 0 failed.
Wine configuration correctness score: 79.15%


I tried to fix it by using regedit:


/usr/local/wine/programs/regedit$ regedit ../../winedefault.reg
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
/usr/local/wine/programs/regedit$ sudo !!
sudo regedit ../../winedefault.reg
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:


But this did not fix the problem. Am I missing something?
