There are a few different possibilities. Do you have a Windows partition
that you're trying to use? This is possible, but the general
recommendation is to install applications separately under wine. If you
have a windows executable, say "setup.exe," you could:
* open up a terminal window, cd to the right directory, and type
wine setup.exe
* open a file browser like Konqueror, click on setup.exe, and in the "Open
with..." dialog type "wine."
As you install programs under Wine, you should automatically get a "Wine"
entry in your applications menu. This works like the MS Windows Start
menu, if you're used to that. Take a look in your application menu and
see if there's a Wine entry there.
If you want to use an existing Windows partition, you have to do some more
work. There are instructions at
