Guest mikey Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 (edited) Okay i finally done it, I turfed out windows, it wasnt easy but all my friends were constantly buggin me, and would offer no help along as i ran a win box, "all windows are good for is breaking" so now I have an issue, I dont even know where to begin, I have downloaded winex, figured that out, and I am running mandrake 10, but everything i ever thought I knew is no good now. So would someone help this guy out with his transistion, and assist me with a step by step guide so I can atleast play a game or two. I mean I know nothing moved to emulation - tyme Edited June 22, 2004 by tyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Congratulations on turfing Windoze! Welcome to the fold... There are great guides for installing WineX on Transgaming.com But, basically, it goes like this: Download the latest WineX rpm. Install it with the standard rpm command: # rpm -ivh package.rpm And then install games by inserting and mounting the cd, cding into the mount point and doing: $ winex setup.exe (or whatever the installation executable is called. For more go to www.transgaming.com and read. Unfortunately getting it right with Linux usually means educating yourself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 (edited) Shouldn't somebody tell him about the difference between downloadable WineX and 'commercial' WineX? I don't know what games you can install with downloadable WineX, but that might be important, no? Also, some good games for Linux, from the top of my head: Frozen Bubble Neverball Bzflag Glflight (or something like that) Pingus Battle for Wesnoth ScummVM (most old Lucasarts games, like Loom, Monkey Island, also Beneath a Steel Sky, ...)

SoulSe Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 He was not asking what native games are available for Linux, just how to install WineX. Lets stay on topic. Wow... didn't sound much like my usual renegade self there... sorry :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
