Help out a complete and total n00b with wine
Hey, I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 (and I've been using it for about a week) and I'm trying to install wine. I have not installed anything that was not automatically installed with the distro CD. I went to winehq.org and followed their instructions for Debian, here: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
I followed all instructions above "Getting source packages from repository", and ending with "...mark all upgrades should update Wine to the newest version." But now that I've done that, I have absolutely no idea what to do. Please guide me in the right direction.

All those steps are really unecessary. Simply typing
should be enough.Code:sudo apt-get install wine
Then
will configure it.Code:winecfg
From this working "wine" installation, you can run .exe like that :
Code:wine some_file.exe

Thank you! I eventually just typed in "wine" to the terminal and found that it was working, and I found where my .exe was. Thanks for helping me.
