I'm afraid I don't.  At the time I was using it, I had Inspiration 
installed on a windows partition.  I was using RH8.
I installed Wine and started Inspiration from the mounted doze partition 
and it just worked.
Now I have no Windows partition and have not used Inspiration, except on 
my iBook, for some time.
(Actually used it today, as I have the entire CT Middle School Framework 
in Inspiration file format to aid in creating lesson plans, but again, 
that was on my iBook running OS9 on top of OSX).
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
