Here another tidbit.

I just confirmed that it is possible to run MiniLogin.exe via wine from an text console. I first tried it with cedega and it spewed at me that it needs X11.

Here a quick howto.

Install and configure wine

For Fedora
Code:
Execute as root:
yum install wine

Execute as user eqemu:
winecfg #Will create .wine/ with the fake windows install

Hint: This will get alot faster if you do this via ssh and disabled X11 forwarding(ssh -x). winecfg cannot build the font metrics which can take quite a while. You can ignore the error messages.
For Debian
Code:
Execute as root:
apt-get install wine

Execute as user eqemu:
wine-auto
Now get Minilogin from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/e...2.zip?download


And do
Code:

cd ~eqemu/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/
mkdir MiniLogin
cd MiniLogin
unzip ~eqemu/incoming/MiniLogin6.2.zip

wine MiniLogin.exe
With some proper start/stop scripts you never have to worry about setting up a MiniLogin server on an seperate Windows box. In time I will look if I get some of the windows only database tools to work under wine too.

I wish I had the time to properly include that in my guide but it has to wait a few days.
