Well I installed wine from the rpm (http://wine.codeweavers.com)

It installed ok but when I try wine c:winntnotepad.exe it returns:

Warning:

    The Wine launcher is unable to find the xmessage program,

    which it needs to properly notify you of Wine execution status

    or problems.

 

    This launcher script relies heavily on finding this tool,

    and without it, it will behave very poorly.

 

    We strongly recommend that you use your distribution's

    software methods to locate xmessage, or alternatively

    use your favourite internet search engine to find out

    how you are supposed to install xmessage on your system.

 

Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

use urpmf to find the package containing xmessage (if its not libwine) or use rpmfind.net (which is unaccessible at the moment from where i am).

 

*i read somewhere that urpmf also uses rpmfind.net or something but im not sure and i dont have a linux system to test on.

 

ciao!

After codeweavers wine is installed via the rpm file you download, you have to login as a normal user and run the command 'winesetup' then follow the screen instructions. The setup will create a directory: /home/youruser/.wine

 

This directory will be hidden.

 

After that you can run apps using wine by simply double clicking an exe file. I have succesfully installed kaza Lite 2.0, Office 2000, Cdex ripper, and Trillian chat.

 

Note: If you want to run wine as root, you have to copy the /home/youruser/.wine directory to the /root directory

Go to frankscorner.org and click on the Kazaa link and follow the instruction there. It will tell you exactly which dll files you need and also how to edit your wineconf file (easier than it sounds). remember wine works best in windows 98 mode using windows 98 dll's.

Oh, i forgot, make sure you are running kaZaa lite 2.0.0 beta1. there is a beta 2 that comes in 2 folders called first stage and second stage install , that is the wrong one. get the one that is a single executable installer file.
