ChangeSet ID: 30239 CVSROOT: /opt/cvs-commit Module name: appdb Changes by: wineowner@winehq.org 2006/12/02 11:28:58
Modified files: help : generic.help
Log message: Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes alex@thehandofagony.com Update the generic help page, by removing references to the wine config file and adding some new tips. Remove references to winecheck, this was removed from wine some years ago and remove specific 'where to get help' documentation and instead forward users to the Winehq 'getting help' page so there is one location for this information.
