To install Wine on Eee:

- Run a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T)
- Run konsole (optional, allows you to paste stuff in!)
- sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
- Paste at the bottom of the file:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ stable/non-US main contrib non-free

- Save (Ctrl-X then Y)
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install wine
- sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
- Re-edit the file, adding a hash before the two new repositories, i.e.

#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
#deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ stable/non-US main contrib non-free

- sudo apt-get update

All done! You can now run software in wine by running WINE EXEFILENAME from the command prompt.

Nice 1 Paul, bit of a noob question here but will WINE only run single exe applications?  ie apps that don't need an install on windows?

[PaulOBrien]

No, you can run the install through WINE, then (assuming it works OK), you can use the application as normal.

That's what wine is m8, the ability to install/ run windows apps through Linux.

No guarantee that the app will work, I'm sure someone's tried itunes b4?

hi everyone iwant to share something with you
If you have a usb cd drive, install xp normally. You should remove ALL partitions, including the one marked bios, when you are selecting the install partition, and make a single one.
consider using nlite, my xp install was about 520megs, leaving plenty of space. losing all the extra **** meant a boot time of less than 20 seconds!
