[TriLUG] wine

[Roy Vestal]

Josh, If you haven't already, simply run "wine" at the command prompt 
and it will create the necessary files. Wine in Fedora uses a "generic" 
config file, so unless you put one in ~/.wine you will not see one. If 
you do create one, it will over ride the global "generic" one.
