<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Guys, here is another total Newbie.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to run Linux on my laptop, the problem is I
need to run a few windows programmes I have no choice in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I thought ok lets try Wine I down loaded
the rpm file fron the Wine HQ site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am running SUSE 9.1 professional this version set
itself up for just about everything except my scanner and a gdi printer I have
this on my home m/c.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I told yast to install it but it came back with a
fault saying it needed libc.so.6(glibc_2.3.4) which I cannot find, so I told the
programme to ignore and carry on installing Wine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My problem is how do I find the .exe file I need to
start it up, if I can get this to run right then I will feel confident about
installing linux on my laptop as I can then install my parts catalogue into Wine
also possibly Publisher as a lot of the company files are compiled in that
programme.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
