Hi manue85,
On Fedora Core 3, if you use YUM, you can install Wine by running

$ yum -y install wine

I would wish to install Wine on Fedora Core 3. how I must make? Is there a documentation for that?

The documentation is right there on Wine website as a HOWTO : -

http://www.winehq.com/site/howto

Or else, you can also read the README file that comes with the source to know how to install from source.

When i install wine by yum, i have this message

you have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing. However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
You can do that by running the command:
rpm --import public.gpg.key

I had installed wine by package rpm, but i don't have the directory .wine and winecfg file.

Hi manue85,
Do you use proxy for connecting to internet?

[manue85]

yes, i use a proxy for my connection to Internet.

My Fedora Core 3 is installed on Virtual PC.

Hi manue85,
You need to export the variable http_proxy with your proxy settings for YUM to work properly.

Open a terminal, and run the following

$ http_proxy=yourproxy:port_number
$ export http_proxy

Now run YUM to install/update/remove packages. So that you do not have to do this every time, you can add those two lines to your .bashrc file in the home directory, so that they are executed every time you launch a terminal.
