  Hi, Richard,

 I just "tried" to install and get wine running for the first time and
though it still doesn't run :-( I got the "config" issue that you seem
to be having, too, figured out. In the wine manual somewhere they
mention "old" and "new" config format. You can get your old wine.conf
converted to the "new" format by copying it to ~/.winerc
After doing that start wine and it will convert the config which you'll
be able to copy to ~/.wine/config
