Install Condor3 dedicated server:

Copy whole or parts of the condor3 installation from windows into the wine. The destination in wine should be ~/.wine/drive_c/condor3.

You need all the files in c:\condor3, c:\condor3\planes folder and the c:\condor3\landscapes folder. The .dds and .tga files can be deleted from the landscapes folder to save space.

Under ~/.wine/drive_c/condor3, create the folders logs and settings.

On the windows computer run reg /export HKCU\Software\Condor3 condor3.reg On the Linux computer run wine reg import condor3.reg
