[Wine] Re: winecfg and notepad hangs when first start up

[Hong Chin Siong]

Hi Jacky,

I don't know if Wine can't work in FC6, from what I see is such.

In fact I am new to FC and decided to install it as it is from Red Hat, but
now discovered they do not support ATI and nVidia cards well. I would say
the driver support not good. I have used Mandrake and Knoppix before they
are ok.

I am running KDE, all the developments are installed.

Anyway I think Mandrake (now changed to Mandriva?) and OpenSUSE are more
user friendlier.

Best regards,
Chin Siong.
