Downloading Wine

Unfortunately, because Red Hat doesn’t include Wine in its distribution, you have to download it from the Internet. These steps describe how to do so:



Log in to your Red Hat Linux computer as any user.

You can log in as the superuser (root) if you want, but that’s not necessary. By not logging in as the superuser, you don’t run the risk of unintentionally damaging your computer (for example, deleting all your files).



Open your Mozilla browser by clicking the blue globe on the GNOME Menu.

Using Mozilla is described in Chapter 11.



Enter the address www.winehq.com in the text box at the top of the browser and press Enter.

You go to the Wine project’s home page.



Under the Download heading on the center-left side of the Web page, click the Binaries link.

Your browser displays the Wine Binary Downloads page. This page contains links to various noncommercial and commercial repositories. (We describe the commercial Wine versions later in this chapter.) This section describes how to obtain and use the noncommercial version of Wine.



Click the SourceForge.net link under the From heading.

The SourceForge site contains Wine packages for various Linux distributions, including Red Hat’s. (SourceForge is a well-known and popular repository for many Linux systems and isn’t limited to carrying just Wine.)



Select the latest Red Hat RPM.

Tip RPM, or Red Hat Package Manager, is used to install and manage software. See Appendix E for information about using RPMs.

The latest version at the time this book was written was wine-20031016- 1rh9winehq.i686.rpm.. The package was compiled for Red Hat Linux 9, but works with Red Hat Linux 10. (Don’t download packages dated earlier than 20030618. Packages dated earlier than June 18, 2003, generally work. However, they require modification to work with Microsoft Office and Word.)

Tip Select the i386 version if you’re not sure about which class of Intel (or Intel-compatible) processor your computer uses. Even if your computer uses an i686 class processor, using an i386 version of Wine works — just not as efficiently as an i686.

The SourceForge.net Download Server page opens and provides you with several geographical locations to download from.



Click the link under the Download heading that’s closest to you.

A dialog box opens with the Save this file to disk button selected.



Click the Save button and the dialog box labeled Enter Name of File to Save To opens.

The default location is your current working directory. Click the Save button and the download process begins. A progress window opens, showing a progress bar and a time-to-completion estimate.
