scoopy Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 I never had much luck, but what I know is that first you need to set up the config file. Once this is done properly you would issue a command in konsole such as: wine notepad.exe see this thread for some hints: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=1164 Just FYI, my problems I believe stem from windows and the apps I was trying to run were on a NT partition as thus not writable by Linux.

mystified Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 You don't say what version you're using but in 9.1 I had to install the updates before urpmi would work. Apparantly, at least for me, there was some bug there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 If you want to play games, perhaps you could check out WineX on http://www.transgaming.com/ And I believe you can play all the games made with AGS (like KQ2VGA remake) and a lot of older sierra games with wine, if I am not mistaken.
