Hi again,
Now that all my 'issues' about installing Wine 20050930 are resolved,
I'm running a clean install like a completely new user and taking notes
so I can document what *real* new users might get confused by, and what
they need to do (as such a long-term Wine user myself, there are a lot

Looking at the current user docs raised a question as to how to update
the 'Getting Wine' section.
I know from the past that many users don't know that Wine has been up to
this point on a monthly release schedule. Between this ignorance, and binary
distributions' stable and unstable trees, the ave

Hey,
So I just blew away my previous install of Wine and reinstalled from
yesterday's CVS, and went to install a program, so I could take notes on
the most current user experience for the docs. I immediately realized
that I hadn't run winecfg to set my drives, so I went to do that-- and
