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]

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-)

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