I'm currently using the latest stable release and that computer does not have an internet connection so I can't use the update manager/s and have to rely on a windows machine. I know I can download wine over at http://www.winehq.org/site/download however trying to install the *.deb file coughs up a dependency issue. something about binfmt-support. and to be clear, I am doing a bit of homework. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=746732 was able to get binfmt-support, but that had a dependency issue as well. currently backtracking stuff at http://packages.ubuntu.com/, writing down files, their dependencies and their dependencies etc etc, and downloading them piece by piece. can anyone help? ps, yeah I was able to drag my PC over to a friend's house, but I had another issue and can't get passed GRUB, no one seems interested in my thread :( and so a reinstall is the only thing I can come up with if anyone can help with that (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=754848) I'd give you a cookie. I've already got KDE and XFCE in my machine and a reinstall will wipe them out...

> You can download Wine packages from here http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/tried that. figured the sudo command/s had html address on them, trial and error, got there, got the deb file, dependency issue. a reinstall seems the only option, but if anyone can suggest a solution I'll that would be great since I can't get the machine over at my friend's house anymore and i wanted to try out KDE and XFCE.

I think I didn't make myself clear. 1.PC with ubuntu does not have an internet connection. 2.i figured the sudo commands over at the download page for debian had internet address at it, trial and errored my way around and got to budgetdedicated. 3.downloaded the .deb file, ran it, coughed up a dependency issue. 4.got a hold of the dependency issue, but that had a dependency issue as well. bactracking dependencies and their dependencies. I guess to say it bluntly, does anyone have a wine deb with all the dependencies? I don't even care if it's the latest release as the stuff I'll be tinkering it with is pretty old and in the DB of wine-able applications. the other problem, the one where I might have to reinstall, was caused by another thing I did ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=754848 ) kinda related since I already had wine installed but a reinstall of ubuntu will wipe it out. I'd rather not drag the PC back to my friend's house to leech off his connection...
