Help
I am new to Linux, and am currently trying to install WINE. I am running Fedora Core 1. I have tried installing WINE before, and it said it was installed, but nothing really happened afterwards. I put in a disk trying to install some games, but my computer didn't seem like it could recognize the files still.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How about posting what games that you are looking to install?
Wine is not the best choice for many Windows based games. Others can give you specifics on what flavors of Windows emulators work best with certain Windows games.
On many distros (flavors of Linux) wine is implemented in different ways, in many from the command line.
You can tell if Wine is installed correctly, by getting to a terminal window and just typing in wine..then hit the enter key. This should show you what version of wine is installed.
To get an idea of windows games and Wine usage, look at Frank's Corner.
This will give you an idea. Look to the left about known working games.
