Finally moving away from rpms to tar.gz installs. Friend gave me a cd utility 
disk . Wine is on the cd. I copied the file 
/mnt/cdrom/Wine/Wine20001222.tar.gz to a user directory called 
/homer/user/Wine. Untarred and gunzipped it with , tar -zxvf 
/home/user/Wine/Wine-20001222.tar.gz .Apparently, successful as I get a whole 
screen full of files which I presume are untarred. Question is how do I get 
the thing to install and once installed what command accesses it? What 
command and what file is used to install, and can it be directly installed 
after untarring from the cd? Almost forgot, running Mandrake 8.0 . I don't 
know what version of Wine I'm using as the thing was on a hodge podge of 
utilities.

Thanks, Lee
