Searching for an existing Windows installation
Dear all, because this step during the installation takes very long, I would suggest to make it optional. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian

wineinstall ~ line 35: DOWCHK=no # whether to autoconfigure existing-windows installation maybe you want to set DOWINE, too: DOWINE=yes # whether to autoconfigure no-windows installation Of course, a --help cmdline option wouldn't be bad, and a way to set this values using cmdline options wouldn't be bad, too.

I would suggest: search for windows partitions. look on those partitions for boot.ini files or wine win95 equivilent. voila. ___________________________________________________________ Win a castle for NYE with your mates and Yahoo! Messenger http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

We should disable it by default, especially as Windows XP is so common these days. It used to be that using a real 98 drive could improve things a lot, but these days I feel the opposite is true, and using XP/NT almost always made things worse.
