I have installed Red hat 7.1 on my Ultra Hinote laptop. I was quite proud to get my sound working and ethernet/modem card working and X window. I was surfing on the web and notice a development product called WINE touting the capability to 16/32 API apps in the wine environment with it sitting on the Linux kernel. I got the latest rpm from the WINE website in rpm format and ran the command rpm -i wine-XXXXX.rpm(simple so far). The install seems to go okay (no errors). I tried some commands, wine --help and it came up with the help messages. I tried wine -v and it told me the release of wine(20010731). What do I do now? Does not the environment come up has Windows environment. There is not setup.exe or installshield or install.exe to do this, I even looked for winesetup.exe with no luck. If anybody is out there with the patients to speak to a newbie it would be greatly appreciated. How my the way I was thinking of installing wine so I could run my Lotus Notes client on it.

Wine is not designed to give you a windows environment (i.e. Windows explorer shell), but rather allow you to run windows programs in the X Windows environment. To run a windows program, simply make sure the files are in disk directory that you set up during the wine install, and type wine program.exe (replacing program.exe with the exucatable you are trying to run). - Brandon At 02:33 PM 8/6/01 +0000, Anthony Brice wrote:>I have installed Red hat 7.1 on my Ultra Hinote laptop.

Now you need to get a windows application that you want to run. If you wanted to run calc.exe you would have calc.exe in the current directory in a terminal window and would run 'wine calc.exe'. Wine does provide a windows environment for windows applications but not via a command line dos prompt or a windows desktop like might be expected. Instead you just use wine to directly execute windows applications. Chris On Mon, 6 Aug 2001, Anthony Brice wrote:> I have installed Red hat 7.1 on my Ultra Hinote laptop.

Fine and understandable. So all I should have to do now is get my Lotus client cd and install the product onto my laptop? If that is the case I will do that. Is there a way to put wine on to execute a program in the Xterm environment?
