Finally installed Wine but there are problems

[Alex Snow]

If all the hardware the virtual machine emulates is supported by 
windows without installing aditional drivers (it usually is) then once 
the unattended install finishes you can install your screenreader and 
have it run normally.  The only problem I've ran into (this was on 
vmware running windows xp under windows 2000) was that jaws 
authorization disks won't install.  probably a problem with the way 
vmware emulates/gives access to the floppy drive.
