Can't get RedAlert working

[Matt Ng]

I installed it a while ago, so I don't remember exactly what I did. I
believe I just used wine --winver win95 /pathtosetup/setup.exe.

As for the original poster, I used the precompiled RPMs and I find that it's a
little flaky with running RA. Now and then the sound would quit and the
game would lock up. It does do the same thing (load up with just a black
screen), but it happens every 3rd-4th time. So I generally use switch to
a console, killall wine, and try running RA again. Usually it works.
Specifying --winver win95 or win98 seems to help as well.
