Hi friends, I use kubuntu karmic OS. Installed wine.. and it opens several .exe files without any problem. I have developed a small 'contact manager' app using C# couple of years ago. It was developed using VS2007. and needs .NET framework 2.0 I wanted to run that app.. when i tried to run it through konsole i got message > install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables is there no workaround.. or do i 'have' to use mono (it is 70MB :? ) downloading 70MB for 1MB application doesn't sound nice :p
