    Wine in Aspire One

    Hi,
    I'm new in Linux. I was trying to install an emulator for sega megadrive, so i thought i should install wine version 1.0.9 E for the aspire one with Linpus Linux Lite i have but i didn't find it. So i installed another wine version.
    Then i tried to install it by going to System> add/remove programs, but then i'm asked a password i don't have...
    How can i find that password? Does somebody know a link were i can get the 1.0.9 E wine version?

    Thank you so much.

    Running an emulator through wine can really slow it down. Besides, your running GNU/Linux now, there is an alternative for everything except a few of those games you paid too much money for (and it still wasn't enough to get the lazy programmers to port it to Linux).

    Give your password and if it does not accept it do the following:
    Open a terminal and type these 2 commands:
    Code:
    sudo bash
    passwd
    Give a new password. This will be the root password. Give that password to add/remove programs.

    For the emulator i downloaded the generator 35 but when i open it i can't read what is written on it there are only symbols so i don't know what to do :S Do you know how to make the symbols become letters?

    Thanks again!!
