NO THE BLACKBERRRY DEVICE DOES NOT INSTALL SPECIFIC DRIVERS I CAN USE IT AS A GENERIC MASS STORAGE DEVICE BUT THE REASON I NEED THE DESKTOP IS TO BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL FIRMWARE UPDATES AND TO USE IT FOR A TETHERED CONNECTION.... I AM QUITE PUT OFF BY THE APPROACH YOU HAVE MADE AND I BELIEVE I WILL GO THE FULL ROUT AND LOAD VIRTUAL COUNSOL TO TRY THAT WAY.....
Please turn off CAPS LOCK.
It does attempt to install device drivers, at least USB drivers, in my quick look. On that note, how do you expect it to do tethering, without drivers?
If you want to play with it more, it needs at least .NET 2/3/3.5 and potentially other stuff. .NET 3/3.5 apps aren't quite up to par in wine yet, so don't expect too much.
Virtualization may work, but in any case, bugzilla is for bugs, not user support. Please use the forums for that.
