Why would you expect this to be possible? The GUI is an integral part of MS Windows ... I can't imagine how wine would work at all without X installed -- which is probably why you're not getting any answers. Perhaps you should back up and consider what you're trying to accomplish. If you don't need a GUI, then what programs do you expect to run under wine, and is there some better way to get them? -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/
