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

+        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>&lt;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.
