I'm such a linux n00b

<< < (2/2)

Stryker:
There's a program called winesetuptk or tkwinesetup or something like that, it should handle that stuff for you.

GhostCow:
Thanks so much! I finnaly got notepad to pop up and even installed a windoze game. Unfortunatly Holy Word games doesn't appear to work with wine >.< I guess I'll try winex or one of those other programs tommarow unless someone knows a linux equivilent of the hoyle type games or maybe just some good games for old people    ;)   . I also have another question while I'm at it. Is there something you can pop up to end a proccess like when you hit ctrl+alt+del in windoze? Well, I have 6 hours left before I need to be at work so I guess I'll give it a rest for tonight     Thanks again! It's nice people in the linux community that are willing to help that make me think I can learn this stuff

Stryker:
so what'd u do to get it working?

GhostCow:
I just had to run winesetuptk, I didn't look really hard for it or anything but I didn't see that mentioned in the faq. Maybe I'm just stupid? A rpm is basically like an install.exe and not like an unzipper or something, right? Basically what I'm wondering is if when I ran winesetuptk was I just setting wine up or installing it? Look at that, I'm back to feeling like a n00b, lol

Stryker:
it installs it.

winesetuptk makes your ~/.wine and sets up the config files for the user that ran it.

in case u dont know...

~ is the home directory of the user that used it (or you can do ~otheruser/)

.wine is the hidden folder where wine will put it's config files and such.

an rpm is a package. not an executable like an install.exe. an executable (rpm) will open an rpm file as a word processor would open a word file. But instead of showing (unless u want to just see it) rpm will use the contents of that file and install them. The difference? an install.exe requires windows to work. an rpm requires rpm to work.

i suppose that might get confusing with the an rpm and rpm, i should find a better way to differentiate(spelling) the two.

It's 4:30 and i think i'm going to bed... again.
