I have a Dell laptop with XP and Knoppix 3.4 installed. I installed Crossover Office 3.0.0 in Knoppix/KDE and copied the ORANT (Oracle client for NT) folder from XP to fake_windows. Added c:\\ORANT\\BIN to the path in the /dotwine/config file under the [wine] area. Then, I installed Office XP from CD. Next, I installed CR 8.5 from CD (typical installation) and have been running it without too many problems for the past week. CR is a bit slow to respond sometimes, but runs and prints. Without Office XP, CR crashes when I try to select fonts. I used the Windows 98 emulation option to install CR.
