Hi
this is my first patch for wine. It is for the documentation
FIXME: Explain how to un-tar, compile, and install Wine from a tarball.
I compiled the documentation html and it looks OK (no warnings)
Best regards

- FIXME: Explain how to un-tar, compile, and install Wine from a
tarball.
+ To install Wine from a tarball you need to first un-tar the archive.
This
+ will create a subdirectory containing the Wine sources. Using the cd
+ command change the current directory to the top level wine directory
+ and finish the installation using the wineinstall command.
+ A typical installation might look like this:
+ <screen>
+$ su -
+<emphasis><Type in root password></emphasis>
+# cd /home/user
+# tar -xvzf Wine-20020310.tar.gz
+# cd wine-20020310
+# ./tools/wineinstall
+ </screen>
+ More detailed step by step instructions can be found in the README file
+ in the top level wine directory. Note that to install wine you must be
+ logged in as root.
