Half life using wine

[snowtion]

I have downloaded and successfully installed wine, but the wine.conf is the part that is giving me the grief, I dont know what to set as, because when i type

wine Setup.exe

when im in the /mnt/cdrom for the half life cd, i get errors like this:

Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
L"Drive C": unknown filesystem type L"linux", defaulting to 'win95'.
Invalid path L"c:\\windows" for L"windows" directory: does not exist
Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file.
This is (supposed to be) '/root/.wine/config'


what do i do?

And i do have the config file in /root/.wine/config

try looking for a proggy called winesetup by codeweavers. It's a graphical editor and makes it all easy.

One critical thing is do you have Windows installed on that comp? or linux only? If it is linux only you need to create a folder for all of your windows programs (like /home/user/c) and that is your Drive C. Also your filesystem should be win95, not linux. And no, root shouldn't have it's own .wine/config unless you need root to use wine (but you should never run wine as root if possible).

i have linux only
what about these errors, how can i prevent them:

Invalid path L"c:\\windows" for L"windows" directory: does not exist.

eh?

this is the error it gave it at about mid way installing half life:

fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet.
fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet.
err:win:WinHelpA can't start winhlp32.exe -x ?
fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet.
wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...
err:seh:start_debugger Couldn't start debugger ("debugger/winedbg 134725360 84") (2)
Read the Wine Developers Guide on how to set up winedbg or another debugger
Wine exited with a successful status


And i have been reading the Wine Developers Guide, but most of it is way over my head, could some help me figure out how to set up winebg?
