After installing wine, the first time you run the wine command it creates some directories and a font cache under ~/.wine. You then need to run wineconf to create some virtual windows drives mapped to actual filesystem location. Ex:
C: -> ~/.wine/drive_c D: -> /mnt/cdrom E: -> ~/Documents Make as many as you want and anywhere you want (that permissions allow). Then you have to be in one of these location for the wine command to work on a win32 executable. If you're not in one of these directories you'll get an error message. |

Yet another problem: when I try to install a game with more than one cd the installation will stop even if I insert the second cd and nothing happens..

That's because your CD isn't unmounted/mounted correctly.
One way around that is to unmount/mount the CD. Another way is to copy the setup files from CD #2 etc. somewhere on your hard drive. But I think the best way to get games working is to use cedega. Look at http://www.transgaming.com |
I allready tried to copy the files to the harddrive but stil didnīt work the installation stil stopps..

Usually a windows game would ask to "insert cd or browse to where the rest of the files are" - admittedly not always.
If that's not the case then you either need to figure out how to mount/unmount cds, or failing that, go get cedega which is wine optimized for games. It'll work then, most certainly. |
