lol ok thanks

I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. Could you explain please?

im using the guide right now and it seems good so far but how do i fix this error? Select a profile to download and run: * means it is already downloaded, and will reget ---------------------------------------------------------- 0 ) cedega_head_userinstall *PTHREADS VERSION* - for newer distros This profile gets the most recent, but also most bleeding edge version of the free cvs cedega - and installs 100 percent as current user - no need for root. This is the PTHREADS version, therefore not for older glibc based distributions. 1 ) cvscedega_head *PTHREADS VERSION* - for newer distros Th

hi, I'm using Mandrake 10.1 right now and i want to play my windows games on it so i found this Cedega thing. How do i install it? The filename is called cedega_4.4.1-1.i386.tgz. I found the file online but I have no idea what site it was, otherwise I'd show you guys. I have been on windows for a long time so i also forgot how you become the administrator type thing in the terminal. If i can get this and my games to work, I will love you guys forever (i'm not gay) and I will never use windows for my own personal use again.

whats CVS? Whats point2play? how do i do i go about using this free WineX thing?

The only one of those links that lead to a free download is the last. And thats not Cedega but WineX, I was under the impression WineX was the predecessor to Cedega but i'm not certain. You wont get any suport from Trans Gaming if you use WineX, or access to Point 2 Play (which seems like the main reason to subscribe). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> WineX is the predecessor of Cedega. I've read about it so I'm pretty sure. Should i try this free download? anything to make my games work.

Heres an interesting thing i found. you have to pay and suscribe to get cedega but i found this thing on their website where i think you can get it for free. you think you guys can clear this up for me? check out the following pages cedega 4.4 main info and stuff some ways to download. i think the cvs tree is the free way. you guys will have to explain that to me later. more CVS tree info

[root@localhost sevag]# rpm -i aim-1.5.286-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 is needed by aim-1.5.286-1 what do i do?

What is the exact error your recieving and what service(aim, yahoo,etc..)? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> its saying that it has to disconnect because i have exceeded the rate limit. try connecting again in 10 minutes. when i try again i get the same error. and im using AIM

so about my problem with kopete IM. anyone wanna try helping me with that one?

nevermind i figured out how to setup the games. if only the setup process would work. i always get a few errors. i guess you cant really work games with regular wine. everyone keeps saying cedgea but are there any free alternatives out there? i know this doesnt belong here but i was just wondering about another problem i've been having with the kopete instant messaging program. if i try to connect to my screen name it says it has to dissconnect because i have exceeded the rate limit. then it says to try connecting in 10 minutes so i wait and then i get the same error. whats up here.

ok.....so about that little tutorial i was asking about

path to executable of what? if you guys wouldnt mind, could you explain the whole process to me of how to install and run a game? if its not to much to ask

i installed a Wine package that came with the mandrake 10.1 distro. now how do i use it?

ya now that i have the internet running i've installed firefox and transferred my whole music collection. those are only 2 of 3 things i need on my computer. the 3rd is games. i know theres cedega and stuff but i was wondering if there are any free programs out there that would allow me to play my windows games.

HOOOOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im writing this from inside of linux.... do you know why? I finally got this stupid card to work. i couldve never done it without you guys though. thanks a bunch. p.s. i'll probably have other problems as i go deeper into the world of linux so this isnt a good bye

when i click the connection icon in the system tray it says to setup the connection in the mandrake control center or sumthin like that. how do i get there? sounds like some kind of control panel. i think i need to configure it there.

i already did modprobe ndiswrapper. that was one of the things i did before i asked what else was wrong. remember, im using mandrake 10.1 now. i think in ubuntu, there was a file called etc/network/interfaces and you had to edit the interfaces file to connect. is there something like that in mandrake or anything else i need to do? probably the only reason i keep trying to deal with linux is because i really need an alternative to windoze.i'd get a mac but it costs a lot and theres absolutely no way to play my windows games on it. which is a huge disadvantage. where as in linux i've seen a few

thanks tic toc. i did that and then added the drivers and now it finally says bcmwl5 hardware present,fuzzy i dont know about the fuzzy part but hardware present is good to see. still doesnt work though. i type "iwconfig" and it still says no wireless extensions. what gives?

ya so i ditched ubuntu and went for mandrake 10.1. it seemed like a good idea at the time but its no better. i went to the ndiswraper website and it said they got the wmp11 to work on mandrake 10.1 with ndiswrapper 0.9 and the bcmwl5 driver. i have all this so now im trying to get it to work. i went into the package manager and installed ndiswrapper 0.9. it said it installed successfuly but when i go into terminal and type ndiswrapper -i and then the path to the driver. then it says ndiswrapper isnt a file or directory or something like that. whats up with it now? p.s. and when i type sudo it

lets see if this works. im not sure how you open the files but i did attatch them.

ok i install the kernel sources and stuff like that and then i went back to the ndiswrapper install. now i get errors like commands cant be found and some files cant be found and i'm just confused all over again. i would paste the actual errors but i couldnt get the word docs from my floppy to work here on windows. is this stuff going to get easier any time soon?

once again....another problem. i removed the old version of ndiswrapper from synaptic and downloaded the new version. the extraction and other stuff went smoothly and then when i got to installation there was an error about the kernel sources. i'm guessing the error was caused by the first step..... ln -s /usr/src/linux-<kernel-version> /lib/modules/VERSION/build Make sure you have started compiling the kernel sources, so needed header files are present. Some vendors ship ndiswrapper in their distributions. Either use it or make sure you remove it before installing ndiswrapper by yourse

wow i never thought of trying that driver. im uing windows xp so when i saw that it was for 2000 i just thought forget it. but i guess it wouldnt really matter. you guys have been helping me a lot and i thank you. if this still doesnt work i'll let you know

im pretty sure its just a pci
