If your Mandrake distribution is on a cdrom, mount the cdrom (mount
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom) and then open kpackage. Under kpackage go to the
open file button and click it. Then go to the /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS
directory and the wine rpm should be there. Select the wine rpm and the
install with kpackage.
If this doesn't work you can also get the wine.rpm file from the
Mandrake download site or you can go to the wine homepage and read the
documentation on how to install wine from a tar.gz file. Also, wine is
very complex and does not work with alot of windows software. If your
computer is fast enough try going to www.vmware.com and you can by
vmware for about $99. This is a very good windows emulator.
