That helps! I think I tried to install i386-wine, but now I will try with plain wine, or wine-devel. This would be on a separate partition so as to be able to run independently of amd64 installation. Then for amd64, I could mount this partition on /compat/i386 and would have to set up the scripts to run wine from that chroot. I had this problem on a previous installation, remember asking questions. That was on a hard drive that went bad (amd64 installation part), and while I recovered most user data, wine configuration and also i3 window manager configuration were lost. I believe if you build i386-wine only to run on amd64, you don't need Xorg for i386, but in my situation, I will need Xorg for both amd64 and i386. Tom
