Wine

I have some questions about Wine. I don't have windows installed and I want windows to play some of the games like Counter Strike. Can you use Wine to play CS without windows installed and how do you set that up? Slack 10 2.6.8.1

You don't necessary need a Windows install to use Wine. But I'd asy it's not that easy to to set up everything...

You probably want WineX, it is more for games.. Wine for applications.

Well since I'm a cheap bastard I got Wine. Have gotten it installed and configured but it's not working:
wine SteamInstaller.exe
Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible.
Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system" is not accessible.
Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/nate', starting in the Windows directory.
wine: cannot open (null)

k4ution, take a look at your wine config dir (I really don't know which one it's since I use cvscedega, but it should be .wine) and take a look at the config file. It's very well commented and you can set where you want your "windows" drives to reside.

read the man page on the conf file and looked through the config file but can't find any place or any means to associate /blah/c/ with c:\windows.

try to look at ur home dir by using ls -a this will show you the .wine dir then on find the drive-c or somthing like that, this is kind of dir you will find in wndow, you will also see window dir there is where the most ..dll files are located just pretend you are in a winboz system try to install by the dir not by .exe file.

if some how you can't find .wine, try to wine in the console it will make a dir by it self

k4ution, you should see something like (this is taken from my config file):
[Drive C]
"Path" = "/home/gbonv/c_drive"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "Dos Drive"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
