Hi Guys, here is another total Newbie.

I want to run Linux on my laptop, the problem is I need to run a few windows programmes I have no choice in.

So I thought ok lets try Wine I down loaded the rpm  file fron the Wine HQ site.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks
Alun
