ok heres the deal, i bought a digital camera and couldnt get at it in linux so i installed XP back on my system for a while

i recently got some money together and bought these things so i could go back to linux:
hardware modem (creative modem blaster, external)
usb memory stick reader (for the camera, sandisk)
logitech USB optical trackball mouse (because my old mouse was crappy)

that is all that has changed on my system since i last had linux installed

now the problem

i just reinstalled redhat 9 on my computer, eveything went fine as usual, wine installed without problems

now before i went back to XP i had kazaa 2.0 working without any problems in rh9
but now, kazaa installed fine, but when i run it, it hangs on the splash screen and wont go any farther

is this a problem with my new hardware, or is it one of the many annoying quirks in wine?

did you do this?

or this

link1 = kazaa
link2 = kazaalite

or this

that one, i didnt do anything differenty than i did before when i was running linux

oh yeah, my wine version in the may 2003 RH9 rpm

ok you may not of did anything different then before, but did you do it the way mentioned on them pages? i didn't get how you worded your post...

no, i didnt do anything different than i did when i got it working last time, the hardware changes i noted before are the only things i can think of that are different

I, in this order:

1. installed the wine RPM
2. used winetools to setup the fake windows directory
3. copied the kazaa dll's to the fake windows system directory
4. made the changes to the wine config file
5. installed kazza lite 2.0.0 build 2
6. tried running kazaa lite but it just hangs on the splash screen

ok, i have no idea wtf i did differently but i reinstalled it and its working fine

man i hate things are annoying like that

well thanks for your help anyways

for your usb memory stick reader you could use this script i wrote that mounts to the /mnt/(what type of stick you have);
if you have a memory stick you could use my program:
6in1 -ms
(be careful i probably mistyped something)NOTE: You must be root and you must have the directories /mnt/cf, /mnt/ms,/mnt/mmc,/mnt/sd,/mnt/sm
-cf=Compact Flash
-ms=Memory Stick
-mmc=multmedia card
-sd=secure digital
-sm=smart media
You can change code if you want. here


#!/usr/bin/perl
@usb=("/sbin/modprobe", "usb-storage");
system(@usb);
if($ARGV[0]="-cf"){
@array=("mount", "/dev/sda1", "/mnt/cf");
system(@array);
print("Mounted Compact Flash to /mnt/cf\n");
}
elsif($ARGV[0]="-ms"){
@array=("mount", "/dev/sdb1", "/mnt/ms");
system(@array);
print("Mounted Memory Stick to /mnt/ms\n");
}
elsif($ARGV[0]="-mmc"){
@array=("mount", "/dev/sdc1", "/mnt/mmc");
system(@array);
print("Mounted MultiMedia Card to /mnt/mmc\n");
}
elsif($ARGV[0]="-sd"){
@array=("mount", "/dev/sdc1", "/mnt/sd");
system(@array);
print("Mounted Secure Digital to /mnt/sd\n");
}
elsif($ARGV[0]="-sm"){
@array=("mount", "/dev/sdd1", "/mnt/sm");
system(@array);
print("Mounted Smart Media to /mnt/sm\n");
}
