Regarding WPO2KL, check the date of the installation script.  My how-to
covers the later version.  For the original version follow the how-to in
the link in mine.
If you do get Libranet, and plan to use WPO2KL, DO NOT update libc6
(yet).  It will kill wine, WPO2Kl, even WP8 (seems to crap out ldso.)
This is an on-going issue; we can only hope for a libc6 update that
doesn't break things.

I got into Libranet after I discarded Corel Linux and tried  the late,
lamented Storm Linux.  I was ready to order the retail box, but Stormix
had just gone under.
