Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Running/Installing via WINE in the chroot

[David T. <dt...@vc...>]

this works up to a point...now I have another issue.  When I go to run it
in the localapps xterm...it gives me an error telling me the version of
wine in /home/administrator/.wine is 64-bit whereas the chroot is running
32-bit.  Any ideas on how to resolve this?  I'm so close.  ;-)
