I've just started to work my way through your Wine User Guide. I'm not a complete newbie (I've been playing with Linux for a while on a dual boot PC), but I'm certainly not a specialist. It looks like my RedHat 8.0 default installation came with Wine-20020605. I searched for the check & configuration tools you recommend on pages 16 and 17, but they were missing. I found the winecheck script, but that returned an appallingly low score of only 1.78% after I copied the default config file on a freshly created /.wine directory.
So I'm now trying to figure out wether I try to get the configuration right for the existing default Wine installation or just throw it away and restart from scratch with the latest source code.
I usually recommend downloading the latest monthly snapshot sources. Compiling only takes 20 minutes to an hour, depending on your CPU.
However, the last time I did that, I ended up with a Wine that defaults to Thai user interface. So perhaps you should use the October or November snapshot... I know October worked. - Dan
