Re: [newbie] Alternative to QuickTime
I wish there were an 'easy' way to use wine. The easiest ways are to use the crossover plugin, or the transgaming wine implementation. They have been 'tweaked' for their particular purpose and save you the grief. If you were to spend the time you could get wine doing the same things yourself without paying a penny. If you want to use wine yourself then I suggest you do not use the Mandrake rpm, but instead get the wine CVS tree and read everything you find at www.winehq.org Wine does not need any windows or windows partition on the drive. It can use applications already installed in existing windows partitions, but this is not the preferred mode of operation. A pure linux environment is best. So far I have managed to get wine to work playing Counterstrike (menus a bit funny but game play OK), and Quicken (unusably slow and mouse never quite points where you want it) On Tuesday 04 December 2001 11:21, ethan wrote: > speaking of wine, are there any quick pointers on how best to use it ?

Re: [newbie] Alternative to QuickTime
speaking of wine, are there any quick pointers on how best to use it ? I have a pure linux environment and must I partition it for windoze ? Ideally would like to run on my existing linux partition. Any HOW-TOs, tips would be appreciated thanks. Derek Jennings wrote: 20011204112105.JXCZ3849.mta06-svc.ntlworld.com@there"> The best alternative to Quicktime I have found is ...

Re: [newbie] Alternative to QuickTime
from what i can see, it provides only the libraries needed to run quicktime movies. Are there any executable binaries that can be used as plugins to Linux Netscape 6.2 ? thanks... mycal62 wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"> try this url : http://www.heroinewarrior.com/quicktime.php3 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
