how to use WINE

[Thomas Kaiser]

I use the wine package from universe.

Enable the universe in your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list)

Use Synaptic or apt-get to get the package wine and winesetuptk.

I did:
apt-get install wine winesetuptk
Run winesetuptk to get the fake_windows envoirement.
Copied cmd.exe or notepad.exe from my windows partition into my ubuntu 
home folder.
typed "wine cmd.exe" or "notepad.exe" in the terminal and I'm in a 
windows console or notepad opens.

You can run the windows application with "wine windows_application.exe".

Or to install a windows application for wine try this "wine 
setup_of_windows_application.exe"

Regards, Thomas
