Can anyone tell me how to get started with wine. I do have a Win98se partition.
You do not need a separate partition for runnin Wine. Wine is for running Windows-apps without Windows. A seperate partition is for dual-boot with Linux and Win.
I do not fully agree. If Windows is present, wine uses it for copying stuff such as dlls. It is not impossible to run wine without Windows, but a few apps that used to work with my dual boot system, do not work with my Linux-only system any more. BTW, I wonder if someone has gotten *anything* to work with the newer versions of wine, installing itself in ~/c by default instead of ~/.wine/fake_windows? (Using SuSE 8.2.) To return to the original poster's question: install wine from the CDs and read /usr/share/doc/packages/wine/README. SH
