oh gosh.

install it. http://www.winehq.org/ is the site from memory.

$ wine progname.exe
to run the program, im sure you'll get more detailed stuff from the others, im not a big fan of wine.

you install it (rpm or whatever) and then you need to copy the config file from /etc/wine to your home folders .wine eg.

Code: [Select]

you need to edit this file for your computers config (it is well documented)

then run apps with the command

Code: [Select]
//this is how I was born :)

cat /dev/urandom > /dev/mybrain

Tip for win98 (l)users: type copy /con/con in your command prompt to increase stability

Also when editing the config file be sure to check the path to your windows mount point.  It took me *ages* to notice that /mnt/C and replace it with /mnt/windows but the half life was worth it. 8-)

Today it is not working
Windows is like that

check and see if you already have it installed before you do that^ by typing "which wine" on the command line
