[Wine] Re: wont run programs

Oh, Wine works. Right-click on any EXE file that you have (on a CD, or downloaded, or whatever) and choose to open it with the command "wine". That should be the most basic usage for Wine. You can also open a terminal and do:


Code:
cd path/to/exe
wine filename.exe



There is no full desktop with a start menu and all that if you're looking for that. Wine does actually come with a desktop, but it's only used to put all Wine applications into a single window - it's that window you were complaining about. You can disable the Wine desktop or make it smaller/larger by launching "winecfg" (or the Configure Wine shortcut in your applications menu).
