btw, looking at the different ISOs, the one that says "PPC" is PowerPC. it's for those of us lucky enough to have Apple computers! ;)
Good luck with Linux, and welcome to an MS-free world!

since this came up, i figured i'd put my post in here that has gotten 0 replies so far...
----------------------------
finally have winex working on my laptop! i tried playing several games that were installed on my windows directory, such has Warcraft3, stronghold: crusaders, everquest, half-life, and Quake3 team arena.
and there are problems with each, some do not even work. i find it strange, that if there is a problem, it is different from game to game.
ok, so step by step what i'm doing, is:
1) opening gnome-terminal
2) su -
3) enter password
4) cd to the directory of the game (hda1 is mounted on /c)
5) winex3 [gamename.exe]
seems simple enough, but here's the problem:
with Warcraft3:
there is a terminal right in the middle of the screen that is impossible to move. the game is running, everything works well, except i can't see the middle of the screen. that doens't make for a very playable game
with Stronghold crusader:
not that big of deal. i didn't even check to see on the transgaming site if they have support for it. i'm just missing the mouse cursor. i can get by, so i'm really not too concerned about it. i'm just thinking that it may give a clue to someone more knowledgeable or something...
with QuakeIII:
this happens a lot in windows even if i have it set in the wrong resolution. the screen is just kind of a blured, disfigured, snowy, whatever. it runs, but not playable
with Half-life:
doesn't even start.
everquest, eh, i had to be online and i wasn't at the time, so i'm not going to worry about it for now.
with all of that said, my laptop is a 1.5ghz celeron, it has ATI Mobile radeon video card, 256mb ram.
i'm running RH9
please help me if you can!!!

i'd download the latest wine (from winehq.org) and install it. halflife runs just fine with that. i'd make sure to set ur video mode to opengl though (dont forget to get ur linux video drivers for good speed).

while i am on my x p computer running big brother bill's window's xp-i have more problems
-----i downloaded mandrake 9.1 ISO - # 1 and # 2
i burnt both of them with NERO (mind you i burnt knoppix with nero 2 days ago and it worked fine_
i tried to insert the mandrake install (1) disk into my windows 98 computer while it boots
the screen pops up where it asks you what you want to do like it's supposed to, BUT then it asks where is the install disk and says that it can't find it in the c d rom drive!
please help and thx for reading

are you talking about setting the in-game video to opengl, or is winex configurable itself?
if it is, where do i change this at?
