| 133742 | 2003-04-06 01:33:00 | i have just installed mandrake 9.1 (with instructions from Graham L,PoWa,Phoenix,RodJ) but where can i find the emulators Wine and WineX. WineX is the emulator for windows games isn't it? | hamstar (4) | ||
| 133743 | 2003-04-06 02:04:00 | Wine can be found from http://www.winehq.com (or maybe .org), I'm pretty sure it comes with Mandrake 9.x, IF you choose to install it that is. Check on the CD's, its a single file :-) WineX is different however. I wrote a review (Search for Chilling_Silence and WineX in the PF1 archives) about it, and it does normally cost... but it is for games, as it emulates a C:\ Drive, Im not too sure how WINE works though. WineX is made by Transgaming technologies, not too sure of the URL sorry, but check on google, and follow your nose :-) Hope this helps Chilling_Silence |

| 133745 | 2003-04-07 22:06:00 | You'll need to be root, type: su - and enter your root password. It worked fine for me in RedHat 8, just double-clicking on the rpm file :-) |

| 133746 | 2003-04-08 06:00:00 | Grab the RPM version. A very recent version was included with mandrake 9.1 on the second disk. | bmason (508) | ||
| 133747 | 2003-04-08 06:07:00 | You will need to open a terminal window rather than using a "run" type mechanism, which is intended for doing one command. The compile needs a series of commands, and since it is installing system software, must be done as root, so the "su -" will get you there. (When you are finished as root, type "exit", or Ctrl/D). You will find that often Linux doesn't give error messages; just nothing happens :D. You will often get a hint about what happened if you use the command "tail -20 /var/log/messages". |

| 133748 | 2003-04-08 08:36:00 | On the website it told me to do it just like all other rpm's Open a terminal (mc or xterm) and su - to root user type: rpm -ivh winerpm.name.i386.rpm And bob's your uncle! |

| 133749 | 2003-04-08 08:38:00 | I'm having trouble downloading WineX? Where is somewhere I don't have to pay for it?! | PoWa (203) | ||
| 133750 | 2003-04-08 09:00:00 | WineX can be purchased from Transgaming.com (http://www.transgaming.com), or for free from CVS. I do not know the details of getting WineX from CVS (or even what CVS is :-)). | flyer590 (2523) | ||
| 133751 | 2003-04-09 14:51:00 | Wine will drive you mad :) It tells you, if you list the program that you should not expect it to work! Why emulate Windows when you can double boot & have the real thing? |
