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!

So how to you get to program files in the terminal ? I put in the: It went down one with out saying anything else so I guess it was successful.. yes I put in my user name where the the "yourusername" was. I don't know how to get to the program files from there though, or even if it was supposed to open another window or something around those parts.
