Thought I'd try once more to get Wine flowing in Debian. Clicked the falling-over wineglass in the KDE menu.

"You have started Wine, but we cannot find a Wine configuration file.

This is normal if you have never run Wine before. If this is the case, select the 'Configure Wine' option, below, to create a configuration file."

So I did.

"Error: unable to find winesetup tool, please install the "winesetuptk" Debian package"

I click 'okay'.

"You have started Wine, but we cannot......

<mode="thinks">

Haven't we been here before?

</mode>

So, (please make a careful mental not of the next action...) I open the CD ROMdrawer by pressing its 'open/close' buttonand feed it the 'binary 1' CD, which fires-up nicely. Then I have have a look at what's on offer.

There are two likely-looking wineglasses (toppling) in sight, both of which (but separately) I offer Debian, and both of which are declined.

Any idea where I ought to look, pretty please? (And what I might have to type into a text terminal?)

However, the above isn't the point of this emu: when I came to remove the CD, pressing the 'open/close' button on the drive resulted in a sullen refusal to do anything. So, I tried the CD icon in Gnome, to be told that Debian had lost the driver - and the drawer still would not open. (Kept telling me that the drive was 'busy' or similar when I clicketty-clicked its icon in the Desktop. [Do we call it 'desktop'?] )

I had to close Debian down before the CD drive would operate again.

So, for a change, the 'Forgotten...' does not refer to my own dreadful memory, but to Debian's.

Any thoughts, gang?
