You should use dselect, or a similar Package Manager program (I half remember that Corel has a sort of 'gnome-apt'), to install the debian packages named 'libwine' and 'wine'. My advise : if you think to run all or most of your windows programs with wine, you could be disappointed. As far as I know, it is still ALPHA-quality software, and many window applications do not run under it. Last time I checked, I downloaded their March 2000 release (20000326) and the most complex program I could run was Paint.(I'm sure it can do more than this; not with my programs, anyway). Moreover, the version with ships with Corel is probably old ( I don't know : on the network edition CD I have, wine is not present ). If you want to run a single application or a few ones, you may be lucky. Before installing wine, I suggest to check their web site: they keep a list of all the programs which have successfully run under Wine. Ciao -- FB
