I'm using wine-20030911 for Mandrake on a Mandrake 9.1 system. I've 
upgraded the kernel to 2.4.21-0.25, but other than that, it's what 
shipped with Mandrake. I've had no problems getting the March, May, 
July, August, and current stable versions to work.

That's not to say that different things work slightly differently with 
each version, and that some things worked better with previous 
installations than are working now, as well as the reverse. But I've 
had no problems getting wine itself installed and working. I've not 
done anything special.

Well, okay, I always completely remove the previous wine installation 
before each new install. Also, I'm using a real win98se partition and 
not the fake_windows partition. A third thing is that I'm using the 
XWine frontend that came with the Mandrake PowerPack (which I upgraded 
in September from the XWine site). I've found that it simplifies for 
someone like myself (who would just as soon not know what's going on 
really) configuring each application.

I have gotten my rpms from http://digilander.libero.it/winehqitalia 
because Ivan compiles his on a Mandrake 9.1 system. However, my most 
recent one came from somewhere else. Where, I can't remember. It was 
however also compiled for a Mandrake system. I'm sure I got the 
reference for it here, though. Probably someone else remembers it.
