+          The process of installing and running wine can be summarised as 
+          follows:

+            <listitem>
+              <para>
+                Get a distribution as indicated in <link

+                the <ulink url="http://www.winehq.org/site/download">Wine 
+                Downloads</> page. For the casual or new user the simplest 
+                is to get an rpm distribution.

+                linkend="config-wine-main"><emphasis><filename>winecfg</></>
+                </link> command. For most people wine should now be usable.

+            <listitem>

+                To test your installation run wine's Windows 3.1 like file 
+                manager using the <filename>wine winefile</> command.

+              <para>
+                The first command you will run will be to install a package.

+                /media/cdrom/setup.exe</> or the equivalent.
