newbie questons about wineX and internet

[largegroh]

I want to install wineX(i think or a free something to do same thing) so that I can install and play asheron's call. I really do not want to mess up mu current install of mandrake 2005LE.

 

First, will wineX allow me to run this game? I would need to be able to install some msi's and decal.

 

Second, if there is chance of messing up my current install, can I install a second mandrake2005LE? if so, how?

 

Third, I seem to remember reading somewhere on the boards about setting up a second user and cloning/replicating system to that user so that I would not mess up my current install. I may be crazy here as I am new and not always, make that mostly, not understanding what I read.

 

any help with this venture would be appreciated.
