Laptop OS: Ubuntu
Intrepid Ibex
I don't have internet access on my laptop.
Trying to install Wine 1.1.13
I got both Ubuntu and Wine by downloading from my desktop, which is Windows XP and saving on a flashdrive. Ubuntu is on my laptop now, installed perfectly. Wine... well, I moved the ".tar.bz2" file to my desktop and extracted it, so the "wine-1.1.13" folder is next to the ".tar.bz2" on my laptop. Left both, just to be safe in case either worked.
I'm on the desktop, nothing's open. I got to Applications > Accessories > Terminal. I type in "sudo apt-get install wine". It asks me for my password, and I type it in.
"steven@stevens-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install wine

That's what I get. "E: Couldn't find package wine.
Now let's try...

Basically, whether I type "sudo apt-get install wine" or "sudo aptitude install wine" in Terminal, from the desktop, I get error messages telling me it won't comply.
Now I go to System > Administration > Software Sources.
In the Ubuntu Software tab: main, universe, restricted and multiverse are all checked; Source code is not. The list tells me "Cdrom with Ubuntu 8.10 'Intrepid Ibex' is checked. Great, I have Intrepid Ibex. So... I still don't have Wine.
Third-Party Software tab, I've added the "Scott Ritchie.gpg" key, so "WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" is checked. I added the Scott Ritchie key from Ubuntu's website. After all, I'm trying to install Wine on an Intrepid Ibex system.
Yeah, not sure what to do from here. My Internet's not working and I'm having troubles with my CD-Rom, but I'm trying to install Wine. Anybody know what to do in this situation?
