How do I install Windows in Wine under Linux?

Wine HQ - Wine FAQ
Simple answer: you CAN'T. Windows demands direct access to the hardware and cannot get it with Wine and UNIX in the way Wine is supposed to be primarily used WITHOUT Windows. If you want to use a Windows installation, then use an existing installation alongside the UNIX installation (see the dual-boot HOWTO for your OS for more details). Or alternatively use the cabextract utility to extract Windows install archives to a directory that you want to use as Wine's Windows tree.

How do I install Windows NT and Linux onto the same machine?

Installation and Other General Questions
If you need to install Windows NT and Linux on the same machine, read the Linux and NT HOWTO that has been prepared by Bernd Reichert. The latest version can be found at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html. Partition and install Windows NT first, making sure to leave space for Linux to place its partitions. If possible, do not create any logical partitions, as we have had reports of this causing problems. Get NT running and its boot loader happy. See similar questions...

If I use a Windows install with Wine, which one works best?

Wine HQ - Wine FAQ
I'd say Win98SE is the best version to use with Wine, as it's fairly widespread amongst developers and relatively old. Using Win2K files is definitely worse than a plain no-windows Wine install, and Win ME is said to be problematic, too (as probably no developer uses it). In short: all Win9x <= W98SE are good.

How do I get files to or from my S-100 system to my [Mac, PC/Windows, Linux] system?

S-100 FAQ
Sooner or later, most people who own an S-100 system need to transfer a file to or from a DOS or Windows (or Macintosh or whatever) computer. A Google search of comp.os.cpm "groups" will find a discussion of this very topic that last occurred in early 2003. It's an old topic. Most people who need to establish serial file transfers to or from a CP/M system (or N* DOS system) of ANY sort end up doing something like this: get a SIMPLE file transfer program onto their CP/M system.

Should I use a Unix (Linux, SunOS, BSD, etc.) or Windows NT (Windows 2000) based server?

Web Hosting Universe -hosting FAQ host frequently asked ques...
Which operating system you decide to use should depend on what features you need. For example, if you are already using IIS, ASP, VBScript, Windows Media, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, or Visual InterDev, and you don't have the time to learn Unix-based solutions, you'll have to choose a Windows NT or Windows 2000-based host. Just because your desktop is Windows-based doesn't mean you should use a Windows host. See similar questions...

Will all my Windows programs work with Linux?

SpinnNet Linux FAQ
The short answer is no. Since Linux is a different operating system than Windows, it does things differently and that means that Windows programs such as Outlook Express, MS Word, etc, will not work. The good news is that there are almost always Linux programs that do the same thing as the Windows programs you know and love. Or, if you're like me, the Windows programs you know. The even better news is that these programs are usually free. Free as in $0 dollars. See similar questions...

Can I have both Windows and Linux on my computer?

Linux Online - Frequently Asked Questions: General Queries
If you're going to have this kind of a system, it's important that you install the Windows operating system first in the first partition of your hard disk. You can then install Linux and along with it a program known as a bootloader (nowadays, the most popular are LILO and GRUB) which allows you to choose your operating system. The Linux installation process, in most circumstances, leaves your Windows partition alone during the install. See similar questions...

Will there be a Windows version of Wine?

Wine HQ - Wine FAQ
Some people are working on getting Wine code to compile on Windows using one of the following projects as a basis: There's some progress, so a Wine version that's usable on Windows might be available at some time in the future. Part of the rationale for these projects is to find out areas where Wine portability is lacking. This is especially true of the ReactOS project which is a reimplementation of the Windows kernel and should thus be able to reuse most of Wine dlls. See similar questions...
