I've been trying to use the Transgaming version of wine on FC6 x86_64 at
home recently. Some games do play flawlessly, but I am running into a
baffling issue trying to install others.
For Diablo 2, the installer will run and proceed normally until I need
to swap out disks and it attempts to pull data off of the 'play disk.'
The installer can 'see' the CD in the drive if I browse to it withing
the wine session, so the disk is definitely present.
At this point the windows installer seems to be unable to detect a real
copy of the game. Tech Support at Transgaming is pointing the finger at
Fedora, but I am unable to get *specific* information out of them at
this time.

Hello,
Please note that multiple copy protection systems are broken under
Fedora Core 6, including Safedisc and Securom. As a result, many games
are not working with FC6 unless a NO CD patch is applied (and even then,
the games may still not work). We recommend using another distro at this
time.

The response seems pretty clear that Transgaming believes that something
Fedora-ish is causing issues with wine, but I'm not sure how to proceed.
Any guidance would be helpful.

P.S. I have also started a thread at trangaming.org with regard to this
