Need A Walkthrough for Installing WIne (Noob)

[SolidSnake2]

Hi, I have never worked with LInux before, and I have no knowledge of using command lines or the like. COuld anyone give me a walkthrough on installing WIne? I have the files downloaded, but I am confused on what to do now.

System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager

Find WINE on the list or by doing a search and install it from there.

Ok,since I got those packages, it should already be installed?

Try opening a terminal window and typing 'wine'. If it says 'command nopt found', wine is not installed.

OK, can somone PLEASE go step by step with me?

Search the forums for Wine, you will find a huge amount of help. There will be more than one guide I'm sure.

Also you may also want to become familiar with the Ubuntu Gamer's Arena (http://gaming.gwos.org/) site.

Automatix (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=138405) is great, for new users & old hands alike: It offers a menu of over 40 choices for you to install!! Including Wine amongst them.

WineTools (http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/) is a great help in initially setting up Wine. (That's after you have installed Wine)
