If you have Wine downloaded already, you should be able to install it based on what type of file it is. If it is an RPM, open your terminal, become root, and type "rpm -Uvh filename" where filename is the name of the Wine RPM package. If you downloaded it as a tar.gz file, it must be configured. Open the terminal, and type "tar -zxvf filename". then change directories to where the files were extracted to, and type "./configure", after that has finished type "make", and following that "make install". That should work...

If you have wine installed, I have found the easiest way to get everything set up in wine is by downloading and installing winetools. You can find it easily using google.

Once winetools is installed, run wt2 as normal user and setup you r fake windows system and install the needed windows system files, and you're good to go.

my attempt :P

Code:

[root@***********usr]# rpm -Uvh wine-20050419-1fc3winehq.i386.rpm

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

  1:wine                  ########################################### [100%]

I typed wine in term, after and got this:

Code:

[root@***********usr]# wine

wine: creating configuration directory '/root/.wine'...

wine: '/root/.wine' created successfully.

Wine 20050419

Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...]  Run the specified program

      wine --help                  Display this help and exit

      wine --version                Output version information and exit

[root@***********usr]# wine help

fixme:winhelp:MACRO_About ()

So I guess its installed? How....how do I work it? :P

Do you suppose something like

$ wine "/mnt/windows/Program Files/application_directory/application.exe"

might work?
