I have a job, well almost, unfortunely they havent seen the light regarding operating systems and are still tied 'to another system which a lot of people use...'. with that in mind I thought I might get back in to the swing of their thing as I havnt used it for about two years so I decided to load up WINE (from Linux Format Oct 2001) using the RPM manager. It says that it is installed. apparently. I cant get it to work. What do I have to do to it? I cannot find an icon anywhere and if I open a terminal it doesnt seem to understand it or am I doing it wrong.? I would just like to click on an icon to start the program up. can anyone help me please.
Hmmm, might not help but I installed WINE from rpm from the RH7.2 install disks. All I have to do to get it to work is to run ntsysv as root and check the WINE box *or* explicitly call it like $ wine /path/to/executable I was just interested in seeing if it worked really and so I copied the executable of Windows Notepad from work, stuck it on my RH box and, hey presto! No problems other than an exquisitely long wait. I have not tried to use it again since. I had a dream the other night that RH8.0 was out - how sad is that?
