I have absolutely no idea how to use linux and I am trying to install WINE.
I am running Linspire 4.5 and I actually want to install winesetuptk (this is what it tells me to do when i try to run a program with WINE). I downloaded the tar.bz2 file from sourceforge and have no idea what to do from there. When you guys say, type ~/blah blah I do not know what that means, type it where? I need step by step instructions on what to do.
At first I unpackaged it and ran the winesetup.sh file and it asked me to "Just Configure" or setup kde. I clicked setup kde, it closed the window nothing happened, and now when I try running the winesetup.sh, it says "No such file or directory". I already tried deleteing the fiels and re-unpackage them, nothing works.
Please help me.

(The main reason I am doing this is when I installed
Linspire, it hid my partition that boots winxp, so i
cannot boot winxp and I have no idea what to do)
I would back up a couple of steps and try to learn the basics of linux first before installing anything. (your dual-boot problem is another issue). Fortunately, there are many helpful places on the web. A few:
Linux Online has lessons for beginners: http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/toc.html LinuxQuestions: http://www.linuxquestions.org/ their wiki: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Main_Page Linux Doc Project:: http://tldp.org/ Linux How-Tos: http://howtos.linux.com/howtos/HOWTO-INDEX/categories.shtml linspire has a support section. I don't use it, so I don't know how helpful it is: http://support.linspire.com/
I don't know any good beginning linux books. You might check out: http://www.oreilly.com/
