| Quote (JB4x4 @ Aug. 21 2006,17:01) | | If you are using DSL 3.0, check out the testing repository located at http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....testing There is wine-0.9.18.unc. The "unc" format will add itself to the filesystem using union file system, and let you call windoze programs with "wine winprog.exe". |
Yes, I've tried that version, whenever I try to run something from it (in this example Starcraft) it tells me it can't find the ddraw.dll, which I know is in the Windows folder in the .Wine folder. So I figured thats the reason it was still in "testing" 
| Quote | The wine UCI package? You'll either have to add the binary path of it (probably /opt/wine... ) to your environment variable PATH in a startup script
i.e. add "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/wine...blahblah" to ~/.bash_profile (or other startup script)
-or-
use a symlink in an known bin directory that points to the executable.
i.e. ln -s /opt/wine...blahblah/bin/wine /usr/bin |
Couple things,
1. Still Pretty new to Linux and am still shaking off Window simplicity, so you kind of lost past environment variable path :P.
2. I have no problems keep the UCI package from the MyDSL repository (in UCI category) after reboot, its just the fact that I don't know how to run it all that well due to the fact that I'm not use to the older version of Wine (as said above, won't just let me type in wine yadayada.exe in Shell). The only real success I've had with Wine in DSL was with the one retrieved from apt-get (once i switch oldstable to stable and update) I believe, however searching the forums I see there is no way to save things from apt-get for reinstallation upon reboot.
My thanks to both people who replied quite quickly. Any more suggestions would be helpful.
