I downloaded the wine package I ran the rpm and everything seemed to work fine. But know I don't know where it is installed? where can I look for it?

probably located in /usr/bin
all you have to do is type wine to initiate it anyways...

ok thanks. I typed wine but nothing happened... is it suppose to do that? I would like to find some instruction on how to use wine and how to install windows application. can anybody point me to a walkthrough or something?

thanks

Did you downloaded the binaries or the source code?
the rpm should tell you which packages are included.
just type rpm --help.

if you just simply type wine at the prompt, it should spit out the options that it can use, since you didn't give it any...
you should see something like ::

Quote:

Usage: wine [options] [--] program_name [arguments]
The -- has to be used if you specify arguments (of the program)

Options:
--debugmsg name Turn debugging-messages on or off
--dll name Enable or disable built-in DLLs
--dosver x.xx DOS version to imitate (e.g. 6.22)
Only valid with --winver win31
--help,-h Show this help message
--managed Allow the window manager to manage created windows
--version,-v Display the Wine version
--winver Version to imitate (win95,win98,winme,nt351,nt40,win2k,winxp,win20,win30,win31)
--dt Defer trace until Alt+F12
--use-dos-cwd Used to set the DOS current working directory for the process (needs a path)
--cmdline Specifies the application's command line

if that doesn't show, then you didn't install and configure wine correctly....
