Stupid question, I know.

I'm having issues getting WINE installed on Ubuntu Linux. I'm in the root directory and I need to get it to somehow get back on to wine install (is that right?) what's the command I should use?

Scandalous,

What do you have, the source files or the rpm?

If you downloaded the source files, then open a terminal and cd into the wine directory, then type the following commands one by one ,
./configure
make
make install

If you got the rpm file, then use the following command,

rpm -ivh wine.blahblah.rpm

BTW, read the 'readme' file or 'install' file that comes with the wine, It explains everything.

I have read it, and I do know that I need to get to make install. Or something like that (off the top of my head)

However, I can't get it to go past this:

root@ubuntu:~ #

thats a command line prompt,ever used DOS, same deal only more commands

cd changes directories
ls lists directories and files

type help or ? then hit enter and a listing will show up
type man <commandname> for online help on different commands

goto http://www.tldp.org and start reading, start with BASH, thats usually the default shell, your also going to need to learn the linux filesystem structure

yeah, I know. Linux isn't exactly my OS of choice, but I've got to make the best of what I've got. Thanks!
