I'm new to Ubuntu, I just downloaded "wine" from the command-line. So when and open up "wine", I have no idea what I'm suppose to do next. What do I do after the download had been completed..open it, then what? Let's say I want to download MS Office 2010 (using a disc, will it automatically download it)? Thanks, -Vince |

Well, first you get some Windows program (.exe file - say, an installer), then you either start it from terminal using or as I remember you can right-click on an .exe file in Nautilus and choose "Open With..." -> "Wine" By itself Wine has no interface or anything that can be started, it merely runs Windows programs. |

Wine will create a C: drive for you (if it has not you need to run winecfg). After that you can place the application onto your fake C: drive and run it. Note that not all programs will run well (or at all) under Wine. It appears from a quick search that Office will run under wine, but don't expect every Windows application to do so. The wine faq found here: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ goes into good detail on how to use wine. |
