I recently lost access to my 'green_dome' account.
My previous email provider [http://lavabit.com] shutdown.
Trying to change my email address on the forum
resulted in losing access.

Until such time as my 'green_dome' account is
reactivated, my new username is 'version2013'.

I might start a new thread.

Dear green_dome/version2013,

Sorry to hear that you were a victim of that ugly Lavabit business. We all appreciate your efforts here, so whenever you are ready, we will be appreciative again of your efforts.

With kind regards,

Hi Green Dome,
thanks for doing the wines.

1. Just a heads up. The older versions are not obtainable. I was looking for wine 1.5.10 v1 stripped, it seems a good halfway house between older apps and newer apps without causing bootsplash blackouts on the app startup.

2. When one updates the wine, can you just overwrite the installation or do you have to remove all of the old wine files usr/lib/wine etc?

Much appreciated v2013, that must have been quite a lot of files to move.

Thanks again for the wines that you provide to the puppy community.

Thanks Makoto, that's one area I never looked at.

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, please be gentle.
Where do I find something to teach me how to use WINE.
I need to set it up in Slacko 5.
Thanks in advance

Should have read first before asking ... Embarassed

I am using Puppy Linux Precise 5.7.1 and am looking for guidance in which Wine to use? I would prefer a SFS or pet file as I am not to swift at compiling source yet!

I have had problems loading Gecko - it indicates Wine needs it but does not seem to install. I manually put the wine_gecko-1.1.0-x86_64.cab in the folder usr/share/wine/gecko when trying version 1.3.13

My goal is to run Cadra geo so I'll also have to load .net.

I have found a Wine Maunal but it is poor in its discussion on installing into linux (or coarse thats a me issue more than a linux and wine issue).

Wine 1.7.2 for Slacko, PET & SFS files.

It worked fine for me but it would be nice if you could also test it, just to be sure... Smile

Will try that version next - I just started 1.6 and it looks like it is going out to fetch MONO etc...

I am not using the slacko version right now so I expect we will have different results, but I will continue to share results in case I have to convert to slacko.

Just noticed that it is now loading Gecko - so I'm getting closer, I think.

Thanks for your response
