Wine with no Windows...

I've got a dual boot with XP and RH9, and since all of my hardware is too new, 98 doesn't run very well. So I'm in a fix where I have some software that won't work on XP but will on 98. My only issue, is that I don't want to mount my XP drive. I know that's a bad thing to mount an NTFS, and I did it once and that resulted in a week and a half of reinstalling XP and Linux repetetively to erase all the damage.

I've heard of people running Wine and installing software with it without previous versions of Windows installed on their machine period...what's the credibility of this? My only restriction that I find is that Wine has to use it's simulated registry, and this tends to pose problems with installing software.

Any Wine gurus out there?

I believe that wine will do it for you if you tell WINE to use its own registry, however it is important that you configure the correct paths in the ~/.wine/config file.

Then install all of your apps to /wine/win98 , or someother created logical space which you have created for wine apps.

try running the config scripts provided by wine to help you!

Quoted from " http://gcclinux.game-host.org/viewtopic.php?t=86 "

I was successfull with the CallofDuty installation by following the above instructions. The reason I quoted the above instructions is because I actully wrote them yesterday myself.

If you need any more help or details let me know and I'll try to help you.

I installed as the directions said and when I clicked install to install an application with Winetools, the line with the .exe file just cleared and nothing happened.

Any ideas?

Annnnnnnnd here's the console output:

The X Error is a common thing when I run wine...I've never seen it posted before either. I checked the configs, everything's looking good.
