From fda353c4339c02089f79dac012f631ca3e57481c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Alexander=20Nicolaysen=20S=C3=B8rnes?= Date: Sat, 2 Dec 2006 17:28:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update the generic help page, by removing references to the wine config file and adding some new tips. Remove references to winecheck, this was removed from wine some years ago and remove specific 'where to get help' documentation and instead forward users to the Winehq 'getting help' page so there is one location for this information. --- help/generic.help | 50 +++++++++++------------------------------------ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) diff --git a/help/generic.help b/help/generic.help index 763ec45..9b1dab3 100644 --- a/help/generic.help +++ b/help/generic.help @@ -17,26 +17,24 @@ for a certain program doesn't exist.
