I remember getting a cvs winex once (200107xx i think) and after unpacking it there was a tool/wineinstall. after compilation it would ask me where I wanted all the windows directories (/c by default) and such. I got no such prompt and see no such tool when emerging winex. In fact winex isn't even put into any path it seem. (wine<tab> offers no completion)

How do I setup winex....correctly?

okay, i just emerged it and this is what i was told when it finished...
Code:

If you are installing winex for the first time, copy /etc/winex/config (global configuration) to ~/.wine/config and edit that for per-user configuration. Otherwise, winex will not run.
Also, run "/usr/winex/bin/regapi setValue < /etc/winex/winedefault.reg" to setup per-user registry for using winex. More info in /usr/share/doc/winex-20020728.

okay, so get the winex config into your home directory, then edit that file and specify where your "c" drive will reside in your linux filesystem.

my config looks like this:
Code:

;;[Drive A]
;;"Path" = "/mnt/fd0"
;;"Type" = "floppy"
;;"Label" = "Floppy"
;;"Serial" = "87654321"
;;"Device" = "/dev/fd0"

[Drive C]
"Path" = "/c"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "MS-DOS"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive D]
"Path" = "/mnt/cdrom"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-Rom"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
; make sure that device is correct and has proper permissions !
"Device" = "/dev/cdroms/cdrom0"

[Drive E]
"Path" = "/tmp"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "Tmp Drive"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive F]
"Path" = "${HOME}"
"Type" = "network"
"Label" = "Home"
"Filesystem" = "win95"


a few comments:

  • my floppy is commented out because i blew it up, change it to your floppy device and mount point!
  • If you are using devfs, the device flag for the CDrom will fail, you need to change it to your CDrom device!
  • The place i chose for my C: drive, was /c. i made it with root, then changed the permissions on it so unprivaliged users can use it too.

after that, i think it should be fine. the rest of the default settings should work fine. you may need to tweak a few of them. just contact me (IM me) if you think i could help.

Good luck!

just out of curiosity, how did you do that? I'v blown up cpu's, motherboards, soundcards (over voltages), graphics adapters, hd's, psu's, but never a floppy drive I think... (I'v had black smoke & sparks comming out of a psu, and black smoke comming from a cracked cpu, that has to count for something though ;) )
