Never tried. I have non installed here. But WineTools need only bash and
brings it own Xdialog. This is a Linux binary so you probably have to
link a BSD one into WineTools directory.

There is a port for winetools in FBSD, but it's for 1.25. Here's what
occured while using:<br>
<br>
On FBSD after linking wt gives error:<br>
<br>
lildude# wt<br>
/usr/local/bin/wt: 89: Syntax error: "(" unexpected<br>
<br>
On SuSE Linux 9.1 Personal Edition:<br>
winetools fails to install ie6. When using an English copy of
ie6setup.exe, winetools warns of the need to mount a cd, but a cd is
mounted. I noticed that winetools made a d:: directory, but linked it
to /dev/cdr0 or something. However, the correct device link is
/dev/by-id/Some-system-generated-file-name. I relinked d:: to the
correct spot, however, running ie6setup gave same warning. Allowing
winetools to mount the drive failed. I umount -f /media/cdrom and
remount it. This does no good, and again ie6setup fails. <br>
<br>
Unfortunately, I had a good install of Office 2000 using wine, and now
I cannot install it. Guess I should not have deleted the old install.<br>
<br>
But that leads to anothe problem. Unlike FBSD where /home is linked to
/usr/home, /home on SuSE (and other Linux's) is /. Well this is
problematic for those who setup our partitions the good ol' BSD way.
Like this:<br>
<br>
/dev/hda2 3.1g /<br>
/dev/hda4 25g /usr<br>
/dev/hda3 11g /var ----this is a bit off for BSD but
Linux uses /var more than BSD by default.<br>
<br>
Thus using /home/user/.wine uses quite a bit of a small slice. It
would be nice if one could specify a wine install directory. <br>
<br>
<br>
The tool has some nice features. I really love the simulate windows
reboot...very helpful. <br>
<br>
I guess it's back to the drawing board for me. Thanks for the help, at
least I'm begining to understand what wine is doing.<br>
