Hello All.
I was out doing a bit of shopping this morning when an older guy came up to me in the supermarket car park.. He started chatting and said he was the owner of a 2002 V6. (a good start..).
Anyway he said that he had downloaded the RAVE cd's but had found that he was having trouble actually creating the CDs from the iso files... and did I have any ideas.
I'll repeat here what I told him... just in case it is of any use to anyone here.
You don't have to actually create the CD's to install Rave.
Windows: Use something like Winrar and open the iso directly. Extract all files to a directory (Real Men call them directories.. none of this "Folder" nonsense!!). Run the main file from there. This is normally RAVE.exe . If other versions are different, look at the contents of Autorun.inf . This will give the file name to run. Windows is normally set to hide file extensions when displaying filenames. (BAD idea!).
Linux: Extract the iso contents (every Linux archive manager that I use handles iso files correctly) to somewhere within your WINE user directory (normally ~/.wine . ) ".wine" is a hidden directory, so use something like Midnight Commander (mc) to see/access it. You may need to have Root privileges, this depends on your distribution. ("sudo mc" or "su mc"). I use "~/.wine/drive_c/Rave disk X"
Use your Wine "Add application" to add "Rave.exe" to your Wine menu.
I hope this is of use..
