Hi Ulrich -- WINE is available from the Ubuntu package repository. If you go into the start menu there will be an option to add/remove packages. If WINE doesn't show up there, you may need to enable additional parts of the repository for "unsupported" software -- I don't recall if WINE falls into that category or not. The package manager program should allow you to enable the additional repositories. (I'm deliberately being a little vague, because I use an Ubuntu variant called Kubuntu which is almost identical but uses a different window manager, and thus some of the support programs are different.)
One WINE is installed, you can run a program simply by opening a command window and typing "wine program_name". The program has to be installed where the system path can find it; if the program has an installer program, you can run that and it will install into a virtual "C:" drive that WINE maintains as a folder in the .wine configuration directory. I'll be happy to help you offlist with the setup if you'd like. 73, John ---- Ulrich Bangert wrote: > John, > > under all linuxes i have a very limited understanding of how to install > and use Ubuntu.
