Hello,

I have recently installed Linux Mandriva and I am wanting to install WINE so i can run some windows apps, I have downloaded the WINE file .tar.bz2 and was wondering how I can execute this from within Linux, I would also appreciate any other help on getting started with Linux after coming from a strictly Windows background.


Thanks


Mike
 
That's a tar/Bunzip2 compressed archive. If you're using KDE or gnome you should be able to right click it and have it automatically extracted. From the shell you can run
$ bunzip2 *.bz2
$ tar -xf *.tar && rm *.tar

Then from there read the INSTALL, or most likely just run

$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

There's heaps of good linux documentation around the web. PM me if you want some Ebooks.
