It??™s probably best
to accept the program??™s default settings during the installation. You can always experiment
later.
Downloading applications in Internet Explorer and installing them is identical to the way
you would do so in Windows.
Running Wine
Starting Wine applications can be tricky. Some applications conveniently store an icon in
your desktop environment??™s Wine menu. Others (QuickTime and Opera, for example)
even place an icon on your desktop. More often, however, you are going to be working
from the shell.
As indicated in the previous section, you then enter something of a land betwixt and
between, including drive-letter references. To run Internet Explorer, for example, you
need to type the following:
wine ???C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE ??? &
Make sure the quotation marks, the Windows-style backslashes, the spaces, and the capitalization
are all exactly as you see it here.
Two other GUI alternatives exist. The first, the Wine package, comes with a very rudimentary
file manager called Winefile, and locating and launching files is all it??™s really good at.
