Now that I've finally turned to Linux, I'd like to play games with it. Nothing too modern, but older games. Like Civ3 & The Incredible Machine :p

Some specs:
-SuSE Linux 9.1 Personal
-Wine which came with it (I'm trying to learn how to install newer versions)
-80GB Hard-drive (60GB Free)
-GeForce 4MX 64mb
-800MHz Pentium III
-360MB SDRAM

When I tried to start the installer (I've already associated all .exe files with wine) it gave this error:
Error extracting Support files: (0x8000ffff)
So, I went to the wine homepage and found that the CD should be copied to the HD before installing. So I did that (into /home/user/civ3cd/) but it gave another error:
Error installing iKernel.exe: (0x1400)

What is wrong? Wine is configured as Win98 and all of the folders exist in /home/user/.wine/fake_windows/

As I said, I'm only just getting into Linux so step-by-step help would be appreciated. Hopefully this could even be made into a sticky if the help comes.

If this kind of thread exists already, I'm sorry but the forum's search engine isn't there and google search searches the whole forum.

True, Search is still unavailable, but if you had looked at the stickied threads at the top of the page, you would have seen Civilization III and Linux (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=93759). ;)

The main thing is, wine isn't going to do it. You need Cedega.

OK... How blind can I be? :blush:
