I am running Fedora 2 and i downloaded wine-20040813-1fc1winehq.i386.rpm. Okay i already extracted to a folder i made.( all programs i install or download go into a specific folder.) Now i have to install it and im not seeing the file to install the wine program. Thank you in advanced. I tried to man wine also none found so i know its not installed.

Install the rpm using rpm -ivh wine-20040813-1fc1winehq.i386.rpm.

newbie...

I installed wine and was actually able to get adobe 5.1(6 ver didn't work) and
Winrar to install AND work. Winhq says MS office is supposed to work and they claim office 2000 to be exact...I tried offic XP...didn't work...then I tried office 2000...error message below:

Does office work?

Also, I can't install iesetup.exe (internet exploiter)...it says to reboot after unpacking, but keeps saying this...is MS IE runnable on fedora?

You can use crossover. The only reason im using wine is so i can play a game that is not supposly supported by linux. But they told me to load and install wine. Crossover is good for IE and Office. they have a nice long list of supported software. And it is only $40 to the consumer.
