Hi
You need to say which file your trying to install and post any error messages your getting. Have you tried the Puppy linux forums it might be a known bug?

That is where I install the package for wine. But when it install it a message came up saying that Wine will be under utility but when my PC reboot there was nothing about wine. Which sucks because I have a game that I want to install.

First check if wine is installed - the quickest way would be:

Code:

$which wine

which should produce an output like

Code:

$/usr/local/bin/wine

If this is not the case, try to re-install wine with the package manager.

---

If wine is installed, wine must be told which hard-/CD-drive are assigned to which drive-letter. Therefore run

Code:

winecfg

---

If this is done, enter the CD and wait till the CD appears. Typically under /media/cdrom:

Code:

$ls -l /media
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 2007-10-22 16:39 cdrom0

An ls shall show here a file called setup.exe - run this file unde wine:

Code:

$ls /media/cdrom0/setup.exe
/media/cdrom0/setup.exe
$wine /media/cdrom0/setup.exe
