I got 9.1 running on my homebuilt thanks to this board. I used the software installer to install Wine. How do I find where this program was installed and launch it? Thanks, Will
mystified
It should be installed in /usr/bin/ if I remember from my brief use of the program. To launch it though open up a terminal and change to the directory where the program you are trying to run is located and type wine program.exe Good luck!

slocate is your friend ;-)

open a terminal and type
CODE
slocate progamname


example:
CODE
slocate kde
bvc
You can use the Software Installer (More Detail button ...or something) and view the files in the package in the rt pane, and /usr/bin is where the exec is.

Yes slocate is great (the best) for files, but if you just want to know the app's exec;
which pkg_name

you can also;
rpm -ql wine
to list the files in wine.
