Gert Not sure you will read this but I am trying to install wine-1.2-rc3 I am running Suse 10.2 32bit I extracted the file into the download folder I cd until I got into the tools folder and was in the user logon I then did a ./wineinstall and it prompted to install as root I answered yes got down to the question about make install answered yes then it completed ok. am I now at a point that if I want to start wine I will have to use command line? also do I have to run winecfg? I read and search faq's and it seems there are so many bits and pieces that don't seem to put the whole process into one list of install instructions for tar files. thank you Larry
