ico2, here is how I got wine to install, from the 0.7.3 liveCD:
I loaded both the dsl-dpkg and gnu-utils dsl files. The first for apt get, the second because parts of the file system need to be writable that are read only. There was a conflict between libxv1 and a library file used by xlibs, but I was able to Google an answer for that one.
change to superuser, edit /etc/apt/sources.list from stable to unstable
apt-get update
apt-get -d install libxv1
the -d switch tells apt-get to download the file but not to install it.
dpkg -i --force-overwrite libxv1*.deb
(I can't remember the full name of the deb file, but you get the idea). The --force-overwrite switch is required because one of the libraries doesn't want to be overwritten.
apt-get install wine winesetuptk wine-utils
It did it's thing. It worked the same as the version you may have played with in the Knoppix liveCD. Some programs ran fine, other didn't. Solitaire ran fine. mIRC601 installed and I was able to chat with it. winzip80 installed fine, opened a zip file fine, but when I tried to extract a file it looked like it was sucking up 100% of the CPU but not making any headway.
It's an interesting application, but it's not a Windows replacement at this point. Make sure to check out wine headquarters for more information.
What's the most useful application you've run successfully in wine???
