Armed with a new version of crossover games for linux (7.2.0) and a brand new computer (crossover was the first app I installed), I am testing Paradise again.
So far so good, the crossover installer can initiate the paradise installer which is an improvement over the last version. Install went perfectly, prompted for each CD, found them and installed fine.
I've got to get the 1.1 patch installed again too and then I'll give it a try. hopefully more system resources in the new computer will make it run a bit faster/smoother than last time.
