    Re: wine

    In your Home folder, /.wine is a hidden directory, you will need to enable that in Konqueror's View menu. Then you will be able to see all hidden files/folders. Any file or directory that begins with a "." is hidden, and also the developers made a "feature" where they hid most of the root file heirarchy. [urlhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuHiddenFiles?highlight=%28.hidden%29]Look here for info on this, and to disable this if you wish[/url]. Enabling hidden files in Konqueore will show these dirs as well

        Re: wine

        no, Crossover won't cancel an existing wine

        Wine needs to be run from Konsole, there is no gui for it. When you first run the command "winecfg" it will open a little gui to set up drive paths, which is very important for installing from a cdrom. It will also set up a '.wine' folder in your home dir for you (it doesn't exist until you run wine or winecfg for the first time)

        ONE IMPORTANT BIT:
        DO NOT run this command as listed on the howto you linked:
        $ sudo wine /*To create the wine file structure*
        substitute this:
        Code:
         wine
        You never want to run wine with admin privileges, it is possible (though highly unlikely) to hose your system doing so! the sudo command is only for admin tasks, wine runs in a localized setting and does not need that sort of access

        Remove the 'sudo' in any instance it is mentioned as 'sudo wine' in that how-to

        Also I recommend following some of the links in the comments for extra info, and I definitely suggest making sure you get the newest wine as Dapper's is a little outdated and there have been a lot of updates in recent months. You will need to add the correct repository to your sources.list:

            Re: wine

            Winefile is installed automatically when you install wine.

            Open Konsole and type in winefile, and hit enter. This will bring up a wine file navigator, open to your your username directory. From there you can navigate just like in windows to the folder where your exe is at. Double-click it and off you go. No folders are hidden to winefile.

              Re: wine

              I do like the winefile command is it only usable in kubuntu or is it standard in linux? (only ever used crossover)

              Thanks
