MulletRobZ Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 If you want to use WineX, don't run it in Slackware 9.0. The Windows games won't install from a CD-ROM in Slackware, but they will in Mandrake. If you want gaming, go for Mandrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MulletRobZ Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Can you please enlighten me as to why that is? There must be a reason. ;) I cannot fully understand why, but I think that the devices are generated almost immediately through an RPM, but they aren't through source. And yes, I did mount the CD-ROM before trying to install the games, but WineX 3.2 has been released and I'll give that a shot to see if there is any difference. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoRandomDragon Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Sinceyou are going with Mandrake, if you would like to install from the Hard Drive without buring CDs, then read my post below the "unix/linux distros" part of this forum. I found a mirror on the MandrakeLinux web site that uploaded at 220kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
