I keep trying to run a console application (folding@home) in wine while booted from the Knoppix CD. I've run F@H this way many times in SUSE, Redhat, Mandrake, and Gentoo with no trouble whatsoever, having installed wine via rpm or portage. In all cases, I have never once had to configure wine.
When I run knoppix, this winesetuptk gui app runs and says I have to configure it, so I take the default autoconfig it comes up with, and stick it in /home/knoppoix (ramdisk). I've also tried changing a few options in the config as well with no luck.
Wine exits with an error code 1 after spitting about a bunch of stuff about font metrics and about no nt.dll found in my .wine directory or anywhere else.
Should I remaster and try a different version of wine? Is it ok if I reconfigure a new wine on the system? Would it then be able to run in ramdisk when booted from the CD, even on other machines that have different hdd partition schemes or no hdd's at all? Just how much does wine's config depend on knowing what and where hdd partitions 's are? I'd like to just get it going to run this one text-based app from the CD- even if I sacrifice other functionality.
Finally, why is wine broken in knoppix 3.2 when booted from the CD? I have searched and stumbled on others with the same sort of errors that I'm seeing on the machines I've tried it on....
