Wine and RCT3
Hey guys as you have probably already guessed I am pretty new to linux. I just love everthing about it except for the installing programs thing. I have gotten Wine from the automatix program and I am trying to install RCT3 I have the disk in my drive but i have no idea where to go from here. I can pull up wine with the winecfg command but i do not know what to do from there. Any help on this situation or even some basic wine knowledge would be helpful....Thanks!

to run a program with wine just
Code:wine theprogram.exe or wine theinstaller.exe
