DirectX In Wine For PUPPY 4.1.2
I have been using Puppy Linux on my old tiny 810l for a few months now and I can use wine on this distro with no real issues (NeverWinter Nights runs like a dream on this old machine)

However, I know that "it still misses some DirectX functionalities" Now I have been trying to install DirectX into Wine on this distro with no success (Although I successfully managed in debian 5.0) I find that Wine ceases to function completely when I install DirectX (sometimes Xorg Failes too, but not always. In that case Xorg Doesn't work again until I remove Wine completly)

I have followed the instructions here: http://howto.landure.fr/gnu-linux/in...nux-using-wine both exactly and also making minor changes the second and third attempt. (Distro Specific Changes, Like commands, etc. but none to the steps for wine itself)

Does anyone have any suggestions or maybe a link to Puppy Specific instructions (Which I can Find no reference too, anywhere)

PS. I removed ROX because I thought It might be the issue but it wasnt so it's been reinstalled.
