Wine install


Hi peeps,

I have just installed wine on my mandrake box. I have created the virtual windows drive in my home directory. The wine website states that i should now copy system ini, config file, and win.ini from 'wine-YYYYMMDD/documentation/samples' to '$HOME/.wine/Windows' I cant find this wine directory anywhere, can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

I was aware that it was the version number. I meant that i have tried searching with this replaced with the correct date.

Cheers

sorry for underestimating you but easiest to rule out the easy stuff first,
if you cant find them im pretty sure those files are mostly universal across wine so you can probly google for them

well my question for you is, did you install wine from rpm or from tar.gz...if you did it from rpm then you will not have that folder, if you did tarball, then its in the extracted tarball folder...
