	When configuring DiabloII in wine, you'll need to add ''Game.exe'' in the application tab, as that is the binary that actually runs the game. Suggested wine settings for Diablo II are to enable all of the options in the "Window Settings" portion of the "Graphics" tab with an emulated desktop of 800x600.

		+	As suggested in the LOD documentation, you'll also want to copy the .mpq files from the LOD cd-rom to the DiabloII installation directory so you don't need the CD-Rom in your drive when you want to play the game.
