[Question] I am running Slitaz as OS how do i get Amazon Kinde to run? it shows up as a icon on the desktop, however clicking it shows nothing (exceot for a loading cursor which turns to nowmal) if i ''open with Wine Windows Program Loader'' i get the folowing error there is no windows program configured to open this file'' what gives? if i attempt to add it in wine config ''mind you i have no clue what i'm doing'' the box freezes and i have to restart.. can you help me whith this baffleing problem?
It's likely that I didn't get much clue from the question, so, I'm going to give you an very general instruction. Okay, Did you managed to get Kindle installed already? If so, running it from the command line might gives more clues about it. Open the Terminal program. Then go to the directory that you installed Kindle, with Code: cd "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/AmazonXXX/XX" where Program Files/AmazonXXX/XX is the directory you installed Kindle (which that would be C:\Program Files\AmazonXXX\XX on Windows) then, use Code: ls command to show files in that directory find one that might be the Kindle program (one that ends with ".exe") then use this command Code: wine kindleprogram.exe where "kindleprogram.exe" is the .exe program that you found in the directory. And then, see what happens... Also, I should ask you another question, which wine version do you have? But, if you didn't get kindle installed in the first place, this might be another story.
My mistake, sorry, thanks for reminding, so the correct one of the first command should be: cd "$HOME/.wine/Program Files/AmazonXX/XX" Note: replace AmazonXX/XX with the actual name of KindlePC directory! 4042966262 wrote:> i'm already confused. > ok...

P.S. The installer I've used in the experiment was KindleForPC-installer.exe version 1.6.0.32771
that could be the problem!! i was not useing '' '' marks. let me try again
