how do I set up the wine package?
hi, I just installed the wine package in hopes of getting battlefield 1942 going 
and I was wondering how to configure it? it seems that the arch package has done something with the configuration files. I've found a bf1942 wine guide, but I was wondering how to initially configure wine. all the config files that wine asks for when I try to use it to run various programs point to files I don't have, so I don't have a base to go on as far as editing my configs!

Re: how do I set up the wine package?
Arch sets the environment variable WINEPREFIX in /etc/profile.d/wine.sh to /usr/etc/wine
So either you create all the config files etc. in /usr/etc/wine or you unset WINEPREFIX in your .profile or .bash_profile and then wine will default to look for stuff in ~/.wine/
I do the latter and this is probably what your guides will be talking about. The former has the advantage to provide the windows programs system wide.

Re: how do I set up the wine package?
try these
winesetuptk
winetools
they are not included in arch, but they should be IMO
Off to using Peanut and Slackware, no hard feelings but I need my CD to burn, PDA and scanner to connect and arch won't do it.
