Yep, that's certainly the part causing the problem..

wine has to assign drive letters to various parts of your system, that's
what this is all about. Can you image what you happen if Windows looked for
C: and found / ??

Off the top of my head, I can't remember how this file works (and I'm at a
Windows box at the mo', grrr.), but certainly my experience with Mandrake 6
was that it didn't take a lot to get it going. I also seem to recall it
setting up the drives automatically - on my dual boot system, C: was always
assigned to /mnt/win; which was my Windows C: drive and everything worked
hunky dorey ;) BTW, are those file:'s deliberate, or is it LookOut! adding
them for me?? Anyway, if you like, you could e-mail me your wine.conf, and I
can try and compare it with what I had under Mandrake 6? Although, I've
never tried to get wine to recognise network drives myself, if that's what
you're trying to do?

There is a very good doc on setting up wine on Mandrake, can't remember
where it is tho' - try under /usr/doc somewhere, it's Mandrake specific, and
it took me about ten minutes to set up wine.

> Could not stat (sic)  file://gold/c, ignoring drive F:

This is the main error of importance; it isn't able to use the definition of
Drive F you've given it, and everything else after that has failed..

Cheers,

Alex.
