Right I'm running SUSE 11.1 (don't ask me for more details because you'll have to explain to me what it is and how to find it), and I can't find Wine. So I've thought to myself, ok maybe I need to download it. Nope I just get "Wine should already be installed at directory: *somewhere* (I'm on Windows atm how am I supposed to remember where its meant to be?). I can download components and general odds and sods but I don't get it. Am I missing something?
Simple brakedown of gibberish:
- Linux SUSE 11.1
- Where is Wine?
- How to get Wine?
-
Within SuSE, find YaST (Yet Another Setup Tool). Find the program selection (may be called package management - it's been so long since I used SuSE - version 5? - I suspect it's changed a bit!) and search for Wine there.
-
Yeah, I last used Version 8 and it was pretty obvious back then.
-
If none of the above works, find a SuSE RPM (if there is one) from the official Wine site and install it with rpm.
-
right, I have now discovered YaST and installed wine. I will probably be back later asking how to use it.
-
Well done!
-
Just as I thought I'm back!
How do I configure Wine?
Can I open wine without a target i.e. for configuring?
I have no idea how to open wine without opening a .exe file at the same time.
-
In most installations, Wine installs a configuration link in your KDE/Gnome menu. But I never use Wine, so that's about as much as I can say on the subject. There are probably some command line options, but you may need to read the manual...

No problem found it.
