Unhappy noob problem with wine and a couple of other things


ok, im a serious newbie when it comes to linux. Ive been using windows till now except at uni where we use the command line on x-windows for stuff like java (vi, stuff like that). I recently downloaded wine so I could run warcraft III (yes I know I should have wineX but ive heard that this works so im giving it a try). Problem is, i did the rpm thing at the console with the wine rpm package, and it installed successfully, but I dont know where the "C Drive" is. It didnt ask me at any stage where i wanted it installed, it just did its own thing. I installed warcraft III but I dont know where its gone.

Can someone tell me where I can find the warcraft III files? I have custom maps that I would like to use, but seeing as i cant find the wc3 directory i cant put them in there.

I know this is probly a stupid question to many people but I really am new to linux (bout 4 days using it).

Also, wc3 ran fine on windows, can I expect the same quality of gameplay on my computer with redhat 9.0?

Thanks for any help...

Just do a wine configuration. It's like winesetuptk, winesetup, or something like that. It depends on where you got it.
