What works
Just about all functions and features work in AutoCAD 2000.
What does not
AutoCAD 2000's help command reference doesn't display the summary screen. Also, the index search is not yet implemented.
Also, 3rd party AccuRender version 3.1 build 268 needs to be looked into to make work with upcoming versions of CrossOver.

Installing
1. Use recent version of Wine(tested with WineÂ-1.1.17)
2. Download winetricks by following command
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
3. Install required components by following command
sh winetricks corefonts tahoma
It will take some time because winetricks will download all above components
4. Change Screen Resolution in Wine configuration by typing
winecfg
Then go to Graphics tab and change Screen Resolution from 96 to 108
(workaround given by Sheaff)
5. navigate to your AutoCAD R14 CD and run
wine setup.exe
You can install your AutoCAD R14 using PlayOnLinux (some kind of gui for Wine). I think it's the easiest method because script will tell you step by step what to do. To do so you'll need:
1. PlayOnLinux
2. POL Helper plug-in
