1 WineTools simplifies your Wine installation.
The WineTools menu is organized so that you run each tool in order and have a fully
capable basic installation at the end. Begin with the Base Setup, which will create your
fake_windows directories and handle the basic Wine configuration (see Figure 11.2).
FIGURE 11.2 Create your base Wine configuration with this menu.
In addition to creating your Wine drive, use this menu to install DCOM98, an essential
component for Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) applications, and Internet
Explorer. When you??™ve worked your way through this menu, click Main Menu to return.
TIP
An alternative way to install Internet Explorer 6 using Wine is with the IEs4linux
package. This package installs IE in your /home directory and puts an icon on your
desktop. See the tip in Chapter 14, ???Creating Basic Websites??? for more information.
Continue working through the WineTools menus to install Windows system tools and
fonts. Then explore the list of tested software for common, downloadable applications.
Although broken down into categories, the list is not comprehensive, but it will give you
a good start.
