Did you try to start it on the command line? It is probably located in /usr/bin/wine > i have also tried this command: > KHE:/home/zhe# dpkg -i wine_0.0.20030115-1.deb You seem to try to install a very old version of wine. > dpkg: error processing wine_0.0.20030115-1.deb > (--install): > cannot access archive: No such file or directory > Errors were encountered while processing: > wine_0.0.20030115-1.deb Exists this deb file in /home/zhe/ ? > how do i get WINE running The best way: Build it from source (or grab a current binary) from http://www.winehq.org/site/download! :-) Building and installing from source is easy: just unpack the downloaded file (tar -xvzf Wine-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz) somewhere, cd there, run as a normal user "tools/wineinstaller" from there. At some point it will ask you for your root password. If you ever want to uninstall it, go to that directory and type (this time as user root) "make uninstall". Regards, Christian Britz
