When installing the OpenSUSE 64bit version I also include the 32bit libraries. Wine runs fine here as packaged. About the mounts not being remembered, I havent neede this setup in combo with a 64bit version, so can't comment on that other then I'll give it a try.

If you want to proceed with the tar -> first ' su - ' to get root rights, unzip the tar if not done so with ' tar zfvx <filename>.tar, cd into the unzipped dir and run the ' ./configure' , make , make install (following the clues in the readme).

Just as an extra note.. the drawback of using tar sources to install is that the uninstall or upgrade process isn't as clean as when using rpm's. Also the software management in YaST won't pick up on what you've installed so things can get messy.

Cheers,
