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

[Hong Chin Siong]

Hi Jacky,

I reinstalled FC6 on another hard disk and this time WINE works! Tried by 
not installing Wine from the CD, but add it later via the web (CD version
is 0.9.24, web version now is 0.9.27.

Anyway OpenSUSE is not dual boot friendly, I failed to install it on a dual
boot system, it messed up with the MBR and no matter what I did (tried LILO
and GRUB) to recover the boot menu, it never appear but show "Missing
Operating System". Like a bugs somewhere. So I am forced to use FC6.....

Best regards,
Chin Siong.
