i am completley new to linux so thing are going slow at the moment. I have managed to download 1.1.28 and wine --version shows this. i have run ./configure and make, make install. after an age it finally finished. but where before i uninstaled 1.1.23 wine showed in the bottom of my app list and now its not. yum shows wine packages available but not installed but this is the 1.1.23 version and when this was installed i could not get yum to update to a newer version. any help would be appriciated. cheers. spill
