Questions about 9.1

The Stranger · 03-02-2005, 10:17 AM

I was wondering if anyone knew how to figure out what version of wine comes with SUSE Pro 9.1?

I am trying to install Internet explorer using the wine-sidenet utility but when I run wine-config-sidenet and then the set up, it seems to stop at the second half of installation during "Creating secondary registry" Has anyone else had this problem and could possibly offer some advice to a newbie?

I have another queston regarding Yast, and it is; Can you install just one program from your HD? I wish to install limewire a P2P program. I have this book that suggests using Yast to install software as it checks for dependencies while using the rpm command doesn't. I would like to hear thoughts about this if you don't mind.

About wine:

Code:

user@linux:~> rpm -q wine
wine-20040213-41

To install rpm's from your local HDD, simply click the file in konqueror. It will take you to a dialog, where you can see detailed information about the package. There will also be a button 'Install package with Yast'.

EDIT**Well thanks for the tip on how to install rpm using Yast! Limewire is up and running. I am still having trouble with the config-sidenet when installing IE6...
