Dear Erik Thanks for that starter. I tried it. Not much happened, or so I thought at first. In fact new entries appeared in my menu. Wine; Configurator; File Manger etc. I am now assuming I do not need those four commands. I went back to the user guide to see what to do next. I cannot find any instructions on how to install an application. I have copied a programme onto the HDD. I looked in the user guide and nowhere does it say "Installing an Application". I thought the section 3.1.1 - Application Settings might tell me. I tried what was mentioned there and located the executable of the application I want to install. I now have an entry in the Applications tab window and I have assigned Windows 98 to it. Any further helped desperately needed and much appreciated Stephen Erik de Jong wrote: > To install an rpm, use the rpm program.
