	Has anyone here had experience getting games to run under wine? I 
installed starcraft fine but the no cd cracks I have found don't work 
and it does not seem to realize I have the CD mounted :P  I don't have 
sound yet either but I have not messed with that at all yet.

Any help is *greatly* appreciated,
Jonathan
