    World of Warcraft ?!!!

    Well since I have WoW installed on my laptop which runs vista and is a HP dual core would I be able to copy the directory to my ubuntu linux machine? To the wine directory ofcourse? and would it run?

    I get this error:

    I copied the whole wow folder from my windows partition into .wine/c_drive/program files and it worked fine.

    I am trying to download Wine to Mint 4.0 I am new to Linux which is now my only OS on this pc I am unable to download wine or once it downloads cannot get it to run so that I can install world of warcraft. at this point I need someone to hold my newbie hand and direct me how to get this proocess to work as flawless as it seems on the hundreds of forums I have read

    Incorrect. After installing Wine on your laptop, all you would need to do is copy the ".wine" folder from your home directory to your home directory on the laptop, then the setup would be exactly identical for wine (assuming you don't have any symlinks that go outside that folder)

    ok i simply installed it, and it worked just fine- why are you asking by the time you can check for a reply u could've downlaoded and installed by now...hehe

    also, i can get it to work fine but if i used codeweavers crossover would there be less lag?

    also, uberlube, i agree with your last message...errors and failures come with windows, my windows drive COMPLETELY shut down on me, now my comp doesnt even recognise it...hehe...i think that might've been my fault...='(
