Hi Peter,
   First, thanks very much for taking the time to put this down in an
email. Unfortunately on my system this process completes cleanly for
the first 7 commands but fails on the last command with the same error
message I got from using winetools - that the download was damaged and
that I should clear my cache and try again. Bummer.

   Any ideas what else I might try? What info would you want to know
about this system to figure out why it works for you but fails for me?
Here I'm Gentoo-based and reasonable up to date.

Cheers,
Mark
