Thank you very much Bruce, finally, I got this going. Finally..
Now I can try to see whether I can replace windows with the slackware box...
Thank you
Mark.
By the way, just have to ask another nub question..
For my daily work (writing reports), I normally use CyberArticles to save some useful content of a webpage, or the whole webpage I like, and then edit them later by cut and paste the content to wordprocessor.
there was a typo, should be cyber article, and here is the website, http://www.wizissoft.com/, so basically, Cyberarticle is a kind of software for knowledge management, which aims at helping individuals, middle-sized and small enterprises to create and manage their own knowledge databases.
here is my usage of this software, which i purchased. when I see a good webpage (merely contentwise), I will use this software to save it, and then edit the content of the webpage with my opinion or special mark or note added.
And therefore, i am hoping to find a linux-based software to help me do the webpage content management or storage, but my webpage management here is NOT from a programmer pointview, because my job is only to do research, and write reports with the content I derived from those good webpages.
I believe that linux have this kind of software, really sorry for my lack of knowledge.
Have you tried to run this software under Wine? Wine is an Open Source
implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix.
Get Alien Bob's package, install it using "installpkg" as root, and then run
"winecfg" from a terminal (konsole) in your normal users home directory.
This will setup Wine, then you can install your software by first mounting
the CD, then running "wine /path/to/setup.exe" or whatever is appropriate
to install the software.
Thank you again, Bruce, actually, I do have Wine installed on my box.. and I tried to use cyberarticle under wine, it worked, but just not fully-worked.. that is ok, and I can find other software in linux to somhow work arround this issue..
However, Adobe Indisign will be the ONLY program that prevents me from using slackware all the time,, and I read some thread here, and I think you are also using Adobe Indesign, have you figured it out in Wine?
and I overhear that Adobe Indesign doesn't work well in Wine either. Should I tried to use Adobe Indesign CS instead of Indesign CS2?
By the way, I do have Scribus, but its function and user-friendliness is not as good as Indesign, from my own perspective though...
I was using Scribus, and even helping contribute, but their philosophy of
desktop publishing and mine are not the same. Therefore, I had to stop
working with Scribus. It is so far from Adobe's type of products that I
won't spend time on it again. They modeled Quark Express. Even that product
natively was not good IMO. I grew up in the printing industry, btw.
I do use InDesign CS2. Prior to today, I have never been able to install it
under Wine. Usually I've opened a terminal and entered "wine /path/to/setup.exe"
and it failed.
However, since HAL/Dbus/Udev seems to screw up the way I've done things in
Slackware for the last 5 years, I decided to try something else. Rather than
working from CLI, as I prefer, I used the Konqueror GUI that the automount
process launches. Just like Windows, I clicked on the Setup.exe icon, and it
installed. There was no KDE Menu item created, which wine should have done.
When I launched it from a terminal with this $PATH and command:
it first gave me the Adobe Activation screen. When I chose Remind Me on Next
Launch, the program continued, but eventually failed. This is in my term:

mingdao@silas:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe InDesign CS2$
I had to snip a ton of output because it made the post go over the 25,000 character limit.
Not only that, but I could not go back in Konsole as far as the output of all those stubs. I'm
no programmer, so I haven't a clue what all that means.
The other app that keeps a Mickey$oft Windows eXPeriment OS on my drive is Photoshop.
GIMP is not in the same league. For a basic home user, GIMP does a lot of things and
quite well. But my needs surpass GIMP's capabilities. Such as CMYK, to name one thing.
Maybe I'll try to install Photoshop 7.0 in Wine. I'm no masochist, and if I must
use Windoze for InDesign, I might as well use Photoshop natively.
I had found that thread on the Wine website after I posted to you.
That was what I needed to get InDesign CD2 installed in Wine. It
does still have issues, but might work somewhat. Haven't had the
time to really use it much.
You might also want to consider installing Windows in VMware Player
or some such thing in Linux. Haven't tried myself, but many people
say it's great.
Bruce, thanks for the post,,, dude,, to install windows xp under Linux is something too scary for me now, since I just barely got my slackware box running..
May try it in the future, I remember that one thread said that to run windows under linux gives you the freedom of no virus, and malicious software, and some windoz user friendliness.
Not to worry. There is nothing wrong with dual booting.
When Adobe ports InDesign and Photoshop to Linux, I can
successfully "rm -rf /WinXP". But until then, I need it.
My wife and daughter's computer can now play our daughter's
learning CDs in Slackware with Wine better than in Windows.
So when I get some time, I'll "rm -rf /Windows" and repartition
their drive so it's Slackware only.
I have dual boot for my system, as I will be needing Indesign for my work. I don't use Photoshop that much, so gimp will be just enough for me. so Indesign is the last program i have to get before windoz-free.
However, What do you mean by "rm -rf /winXP"? sorry for the ignorance.
Anyway,, when you got time to figure out this Indesign thing, please do let me know, if that is ok.
