--- Comment #17 from Paull y3531@hotmail.co.uk --- Hi Nikolay. Thanks for your response. I'll have a look at WINEPREFIX but your second answer puzzles me a bit.
Wine HowTo states: Ready-made, updated binary packages for Wine can be found at the WineHQ downloads page.
I also looked at Wine User Guide - Chapter 2. Getting Wine section 2.3.1 which states "... we highly recommend installing via binary packages
Could you please clarify ?
