* Only on "Intel-flavored" machines (which is applicable in this case). * WINE is beta software, and not all Win apps run well, or even at all, although many do. Zero's original question doesn't really make sense. He's running Windows XP, not Debian, and has "an application that won't work right because his laptop doesn't have the HAL device". What does that mean? Zero, you really need to provide more information, such as the name of the program you're trying to run. If it's a .deb file, it won't run from within Windows; did someone tell you to run this .deb file, or what? How did you get the information that your this .deb file needs a HAL device; what are you doing to generate any errors referring to HAL, and what do the errors say exactly? -- Kent West Westing Peacefully <http://kentwest.blogspot.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
