i use debian and i wanted to know if theres a way to get a winex prog compiled or if someone has one.

on the other hand how do you install quake 3 in linux i have the original game and everithing what are the steps?

First, you can get the WineX sources from CVS, instructions at TransGaming.

Now for quake, you'll need to get the latets patch for linux and just run it. This will create the directory structure, etc. Once done, just copy your pak0.pk3 to the directory (commonly /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/) where you installed the game. Is that easy.

deb http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~mleeman/debian unstable/

the thing is i have tried winex-light before never seemed to work.

I'd go with the CVS sources rather than the light version. It will work far better (at least for me it did). Or if you only need rudimentary DirectX support, you could try Wine Classic.

whats the difference between the light and the normal compiled source version?.

im going to try with the source, and have a go at a game.

Basically you'll get the newest branch out of CVS (currently version 3.1) and will have a little more control over the configuration.
