Sure.

I am using knoppix( debian ) an foxpro 6.

1. I uninstalled the older version of wine that came with knoppix.

2. I installed the latest release of wine from http://winehq.org/

3. I created a directory called "c" in my home directory
    ( do this before you run the installer )

4. I decompressed the tar.gz in /usr/local ( opening up all permissions
    in there ) using the command tar zxvf

5. I went into the wine dir that resulted from #4 and ran
    ./tools/wineinstall

6. When the installer asked me to create a "c" directory I typed the
    path is suggested in.  Do not hit the space bar expecting it to fill
    in a default, it wont.  Type the path in.

7. I downloaded the foxpro 6 runtime from:
    http://www.bucek.info/free.htm

8. I installed the foxpro 6 runtime by typeing in "setup.exe"  in the
    shell

9. I mounted my vfp 6 cd as root, and copied the vfp98 dir to
    /home/steve/c/Program Files/.  I then chmod -c -R and chown -c -R
    that dir.

10. I opened the file /home/steve/.wine/config in a text editor

11. I went to the section with "[Version]" on top. I uncommented the 	
     line starting with "Windows =.  I then changed it to
     Windows = "nt351".

12. I then went to my vfp98 dir and ran the command:
     wine vfp6.exe

13. For some reason it locked the first few times I did it and then
     it came up.

Good Luck

Steve
