Typically you can run windows software with wine, but I havn't seen or heard of anyone running windows setup programs, (installers, etc). It helps if you actually install MS.Windows on a partition, and make wine's setup reflect it. Of coure, you could always just concentrate a little more effort into working with FreeBSD; chances are you'll find a better software package for what you want to do than windows has to offer. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
