Hallo, is there anyone who can tell me how to use "wine"? I successfully installed the program under my Linux 9.3 (with the help of YasT), but now I cannot find any icon and I don't know, how to start any windows application. Or did I anything wrong during the installation (I am completely new in working with Linux!!!!!)???? Thanks for your help, Wolfgang -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/attachments/20050509/49d2a833/attachment.html
This is explained in the documentation at http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wine-user/index. It would also be a good idea to stop first, and find a book (or google for some documents) oriented towards beginner's guides to Linux. You're going to have a very rough time using WINE if you don't know your way around the command prompt and some basics of the distribution you're using (likely SuSE 9.3, not Linux 9.3). Good Luck! -J Wolfgang Feuerlein wrote:> Hallo, > > is there anyone who can tell me how to use ?wine??

There are a few different possibilities. Do you have a Windows partition that you're trying to use? This is possible, but the general recommendation is to install applications separately under wine. If you have a windows executable, say "setup.exe," you could: * open up a terminal window, cd to the right directory, and type wine setup.exe * open a file browser like Konqueror, click on setup.exe, and in the "Open with..." dialog type "wine." As you install programs under Wine, you should automatically get a "Wine" entry in your applications menu. This works like the MS Windows Start menu, if you're used to that. Take a look in your application menu and see if there's a Wine entry there. If you want to use an existing Windows partition, you have to do some more work. There are instructions at http://www.winehq.org/docs/wine-user.html#CONFIG-DRIVE-MAIN - Walter On Mon, 9 May 2005, Wolfgang Feuerlein wrote:> Hallo, > > is there anyone who can tell me how to use "wine"?
