With snarls and curses and gnashing of teeth, I still keep one
laptop and one dual-bootable PC hard drive with XPProSP2 installed.
(Everything else is Fedora 10.)
I do so purely for one class of apps, proprietary map software.
Wine can now install and run at least one, and the most
important, of the four suites of such apps that I have. (That one is
Garmin MapSource, including Topo US 2008. XP <gnash> also runs Delorme,
Maptech and topo.com.)
The one thing Wine can't do yet, afaict, is get the software to
talk to my GPSs. XP of course does; I just hate running it.
The Garmin mapware is useful under Wine for many things; but it
would be a lot more so if I could at least get the data I have added so
far to it into the Wine installation.
Could this be done? I know nothing of actually connecting M$
machines to linux ones; but could I perhaps burn a CD on one of the XP
machines, and then read it with Wine and copy that data in??
If so, how?
