ok i installed wine, and i want to run quake 3... i have the quake 3 disk so how do i go about installing quake 3 on my system and then using wine to open it?


someone please help me out here..... thanks

mount cd drive
wine /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe (install?)
wine /path to install
if there are problems edit the ~/.wine/config file

when i do the wine/mnt/cdrom/Setup.exe the setup for quake comes up, but the box just stays black!

QuakeIII works, says so here, so that's not gonna be a problem.
1) Open a console.
2) Mount your your cdrom drive (mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom)
3) cd to /mnt/cdrom (cd /mnt/cdrom)
4) Use wine to run the installer. (wine setup.exe) or (wine install.exe)
5) Make note of the windows install directory ie c:\quake3 or whatever it is.
6) cd to your home directory (cd ~)
7) cd tom .wine/c/quake3 (quake3 is example, substitute from step5)
8) find the quake3 executable (dir *.exe)
9) run it! (wine whateverseemsliketheexeis.exe)

Hope this helps...

ok my cdrom is mounted and when i cd in the directory and do the dir command it says there is a Setup.exe, but then when i try to wine to it, it says there is no suck directory

edit the config file if need be.

Try editing the ~/.wine/config file, more specifically, the part that says Try un-commenting that line, ie remove the semi-colon.

what config file, and how do i do that?

Type in console: vi ~/.wine/config
Then scroll down until you see [Version] like I mentioned in my previous post. Then do the stuff I mention in my previous post.

it wont let me scroll anywhere, its just beeps when i try to move up or down

don't use vi if you don't know how, use gnp in X or pico in command prompt

i used vi before for my graphical driver, but it wasnt like this... this wont let me do anything

In vi you use the arrow keys to scroll. Hit the <insert> button on the keyboard to add stuff in. To quit, hit the escape key then type :q, or to save and quit type :wq

i know all of that but nothing shows up...here hold on and ill copy what comes up

(1) Another program may be editing the same file.
If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two
different instances of the same file when making changes.
Quit, or continue with caution.

(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r /root/.wine/config"
to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").
If you did this already, delete the swap file "/var/tmp/config.swp"
to avoid this message.

Swap file "/var/tmp/config.swp" already exists!
