Hi Paul,

I'm assuming you've already checked out the winehq appdb, but here's the 
link anyway: 
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=520 
<http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=520>

It says that the installer was not tested, which is perhaps a bit odd 
but the distro was Gentoo, and the last test date for Ubuntu is 
mid-2006, on 6.06, but it does say that it installs and runs (the test 
for that is here: 
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=520&iTestingId=4113 
<http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=520&iTestingId=4113>)

The results given were:

*What works*
Installtion The Programm


*What does not*
Verrrry slow


*What was not tested*
Nearly erverything....


*Additional Comments

So again it says it installs but wasn't tested thoroughly.

What restart was it asking for?
