Fortunately I had a CD ISO of Fedora 10 I installed onto some flash drives, however I need to use my cell phone to access the internet and the software to do this is only available via an .exe program. Therefore I have a questions two, the first of which is does Fedora 10 come with any version of wine or other .exe emulators (alright I know wine is not considered an emulator) and if so how do you use it to install programs. The second is, how does one downloads a compiled binary of wine for Fedora and is it possible to do this using a windows system. I would do more searching and try downloading more things however currently the only way I can do this is to use a pay-by-minute computer lab where the speed is very low. I don’t know Linux at all so step by step instructions from the very beginning would be much appreciated. Thanks for any help you can give. I don't think Fedora 10 comes with wine by default. You may be able to download the RPMs from a Fedora mirror ( see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AndreasBierfert/Wine), but if it has any external dependencies, you'd be out of luck. However, the program you need to access the internet likely installs a driver, which won't work under wine. Fedora may have a native program, but that depends on your cell phone provider (unlikely). Not the news you wanted, but hope that helps. -- -Austin
