I've done that to my (Fedora) setup for atrpms and RPMfusion. The preferred method varies from repo to repo: RPMfusion downloads the extension as a small rom package while atrpms supplies text to add to the yum configuration, so you need to get the configuration extension from the repo website. As Fedora supports wine directly, I can't suggest a suitable repo or how to configure yum to use it. Martin
I have Slackware64 and what I do is down load the source file. Then decompress it. At that point from a terminal or command line change directories in to the expanded folder. Look to change into the tool folder. Once in there type sh wineinstall It will install from there. It takes a while for the program to compile but it works fine afterward Ace
