configuring WINE (Linux)?
Hello, I just installed Linux 2 days ago, and I installed Wine to install some windows softwares.
My question is: how can i configure Wine to emulate windows 98?
Im using the Ubuntu distro

Alright! Now this is an easy one. I’m currently running Ubuntu 8.10 (I think). Wine should be able to run most programs without specifically setting it for windows 98. First, make sure that you have wine installed, open up terminal, type in:
sudo apt-get install wine
Now to configure wine, run winecfg
Wine shouldn’t for the most part need any configuring from this menu. You might be missing a DLL or something like that. Navigate to the location the exe file is, and run the exe with wine, ergo:
wine whateverthefileiscalled.exe
If it runs, great, if it comes up with an error you’re missing a DLL, search for that DLL, and put that DLL into your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system folder.
