Running wine without windows - nothing works

[Mark A. Tagliaferro]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get wine to work on SuSE Linux 8.2 but I'm having a very hard
time at getting any program running.  I need to be able to run a couple of
Windows programs (namely Dreamweaver and Paint Shop Pro) but would like to
avoid having a windows partition.  

One of the first things I did was install the latest wine version and got a 97%
from winecheck (only some small errors like floppy not being writeable).  I've
followed the instructions in various Faqs and on-line guides but both programs
refuse to install.  I've also tried copying the installed files from a windows
partition and after copying the dll's wine said were missing Dreamweaver works
but it doesn't keep any settings even asking for serial no evey time it runs
and Paint Shop Pro still doesn't work.

I then tried pointing wine directly to the windows partition and Dreamweaver
worked fine but the Paint Shop Pro window loads but sort of freezes half way.

Is it so hard to get a windowless wine working?  Or is wine normally more
stable with a windows partition? (Defeats the purpose then IMHO)

Any help anyone?

Regards
