mephistophyles 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2004 I looked around on the internet and found a lot of reference to this wine program, so I thought I'd have a look, I particularly want to run msn or some other messenger program, e-messenger is nice, but not terribly practical. I got wine, installed it and now its under "start"(or what ever you call it in linux)>"applications">"emulators". Its nice to have notepad and minesweeper again, but I want to know how to instal other things. Beware, if you start talking about directory and stuff be prepared to explain from the beginning of things, because this is all new to me, any help will be greaty appreciated, thanks in advace! Mephistophyles P.S. any way to change from Kmail to evolution (worked in fedora for me) under my KDE setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike- 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2004 try using AMSN or gaim first before you go emulating msn messenger they are pretty cool programs i mean, why have linux if ur just going to emulate windows? :> gaim: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ amsn: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bakshara 58 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 I installed wine (1.1.24). It looked like it installed well, but I do not see it in any menu. How do I access it? How do I use it? This is in Fedora 11. Bakshara the Linux noob! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 189 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 In order to use wine, you have to run the command: wine somewindowsprogram.exe (or create a shortcut/launcher to that command). Obviously, you'll replace somewindowsprogram.exe with whatever Windows program you are trying to run with wine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
