Sorry, Joachim, I had to quote from memory because, before writing up 
the message, I had completely reinstalled wine and winetools. I thought 
that the exact phrasing wouldn't be vital to make my point clear.

Nevertheless, I'll try to rephrase in hopefully more precise and 
reproducable terms.

So what I did:
1. rpm -Uvh wine-20041201-1fc3winehq.i686.rpm
2. rpm -Uvh winetools-2.1.0-jo.i386.rpm
3. wt ((now of course as a non-root user))
4. Goto 'Base setup'
5. Create a fake Windows drive
6. True Type Font Arial
7. DCOM98
8. Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 German
9. Save your wine directory
10. exit
11. Manually install further sw, like irfanview ...

All installed software run as expected!
Now new winetools version 2.11 appears on the scene:
12. rpm -Uvh winetools-2.1.1-jo.i386.rpm

Installed sw still run als expected.

13. Starting winetools ('winetools') gives:
'Your config is not the one that comes with recent WineTools.'
'You should copy WineTools config.211 to .wine/config.'
'Shall I do that for you?'
Giving 'Yes' starts WineTools, and that's precisely where my question 
comes in:

What are the nexts steps to take, and in which order, if I want to keep 
my old (pre-2.11) installation with all installed software?

I have (at least) these choices:
14a. 'Base setup' first, then 'Restore your Wine directory'
14b. 'Restore your Wine directory', then 'Base setup'
14c. "Base setup' only
14d. 'Restore your Wine directory' only
14e. Exit winetools without doing anything further, restore old .wine 
directory manually.

Thanks, Klaus
