One month ago, I reformatted this drive and loaded suse Linux using a dvd created from a file downloaded from Novell. Linux seems to be running fine. But now I need to install a very old windows program. I THINK that I have downloaded, installed, and configured wine correctly. When I click on Applications, System, Terminal, Gnome Terminal and type wine, I get a three line instruction that tells me to type the program I wish to run behind the wine command. My input wine d:\setup results in a file not found although the cd has been read by Linux. Does this mean that I have not configured wine correctly or does it exhibit a total lack of understanding on my part? Thanks for any tips. -- Jerry Hnidy Woodhaven, Mi

That is: cd path_to_drive_d wine setup.exe You also might need to change the Wine "Windows Version" to win98, using winecfg.
