hi folks. trouble on the homefront. i am attempting to get wine running and apparently it works. however, the trouble comes while trying to install winetools. after googling all evening i could only find that winetools installs a few files needed for the installer that wine uses for widows apps.

so here it is:
after untar'ing winetools i exit root and type wt2 as normal user. however, during the installation it hangs when trying to disconnect from the wineserver. now it says type wineserver in the console if i suspect a hang but that does no good. being gentoo, i figured that someone else might have encountered this. TIA

p.s. now "wt2" won't even begin the installation. this just keeps gettin more and more insteresting.

make sure you've killed any extra wine processes sitting around, and also you could try killing the newest process when it hangs - maybe that'll make it continue on (or maybe not, lol)
