how can i get these?

thanks

ico2, here is how I got wine to install, from the 0.7.3 liveCD:

I loaded both the dsl-dpkg and gnu-utils dsl files. The first for apt get, the second because parts of the file system need to be writable that are read only.  There was a conflict between libxv1 and a library file used by xlibs, but I was able to Google an answer for that one.

change to superuser, edit /etc/apt/sources.list from stable to unstable

apt-get update
apt-get -d install libxv1

the -d switch tells apt-get to download the file but not to install it.

dpkg -i --force-overwrite libxv1*.deb

(I can't remember the full name of the deb file, but you get the idea).  The --force-overwrite switch is required because one of the libraries doesn't want to be overwritten.

apt-get install wine winesetuptk wine-utils

It did it's thing.  It worked the same as the version you may have played with in the Knoppix liveCD.  Some programs ran fine, other didn't.  Solitaire ran fine. mIRC601 installed and I was able to chat with it.  winzip80 installed fine, opened a zip file fine, but when I tried to extract a file it looked like it was sucking up 100% of the CPU but not making any headway.

It's an interesting application, but it's not a Windows replacement at this point.  Make sure to check out wine headquarters for more information.

What's the most useful application you've run successfully in wine???
ico2, I just realized from one of your previous posts that you can't use apt-get.  I'm sorry.  Here is what you need to do.  Download the following 12 deb packages and install them in this order:


dpkg -i --force-overwrite libxv1_4.3.0.dfsg.1-6_i386.deb
dpkg -i libgcc1_1%3a3.4.1-5_i386.deb
dpkg -i libncurses5_5.4-4_i386.deb
dpkg -i libstdc++5_1%3a3.3.4-7_i386.deb
dpkg -i xlibmesa-glu_4.3.0.dfsg.1-6_i386.deb
dpkg -i libglut3_3.7-25_all.deb freeglut3_2.2.0-8_i386.deb
dpkg -i libungif4g_4.1.3-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i libwine_0.0.20040615-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i wine_0.0.20040615-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i wine-utils_0.0.20040615-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i winesetuptk_0.7-1_i386.deb

You can see the --force-overwrite in the first line.

libglut and freeglut are installed at the same time with the same dpkg command because they depend on each other.  That might help with other installs if this is your prefered method.
If I had a favorite app to run in wine...
It would be Civilization II multiplayer...

From RH9, FC1, Mandrake, etc..

No such luck so far with DSL and wine..
