Installing Wine

Greetings,

Hey, I can now post from my Linux server. Hopefully, you too have switched from you Windows PC, to your new Kubuntu v6.10 Server.

Now let's move on with installing Wine. With a little luck it appears there is a new version, so we will use Wine 0.9.27 released on Dec 8, 2006.

Oh, we use Wine to run Windows based programs in Linux. The main pupose of this program, to my knowledge, is to run Ultima Online.

First, click "K" (or START icon for you Windows players). Choose SYSTEM, the Adapt Manager Manage Packages.

Enter your password.

Now, we must add Wine's download location (known as a repository) to Adapt.

Do this by selecting Adpat, then Manage Repositories.

In "New Repository" type...
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main
Then ADD. (Do not forget to do this or it will not show up.)
Now click Apply, then Close.

Up top, click Fetch Updates...wait...wait.
Now, in the Search box, type wine and hit enter.
Choose the third one down, just wine and click Request Install.

NOTE: Look under Candidate Version to see the version you are installing. Sometimes the version on the web site may not match the version here in the repository.

Up top, click Apply Changes...wait...wait.

That should to it. (I thought before it added an icon, but it doesn't look like it now.)

NOTE: Here is the website for Wine. http://www.winehq.com/site/download-deb
