Where to start? I've done some googling but I'm a little confused, I believe I have the correct file (apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm). Can I just double click it as I did for the mpg123 rpm file or do I need to do it from command line? I don't want to mess up and not be able to update my system properly.

Can't possibly use this to get WineX can I? Don't quite know how to use CVS yet and I'm a little strapped for cash.

Unfortunately not. Wine (or WineX) is not all that difficult to install from source though. You just have to make sure you use the appropriate compile options in the build script, the defaults will not work with RH9 (at least not on the latest version that I installed). If you go with WineX I downloaded the CVS source according to the download page at transgaming.com and then changed the line in the "tools/wineinstall" script that looks like this:

Code: Select all: CONFARGS="--enable-opengl"

to look like this:

Code: Select all: CONFARGS="--enable-pthreads --enable-opengl"

Another thing I had to do was install the nVidia GL header files. If you are using the nVidia drivers from nvidia.com then you will also need to install them. The driver installation program has an option to install them and does not do so by default.

Also if you have upgraded your system (apt-get dist-upgrade), and I would suggest that you do, then you will also want to install the latest kernel and set it to be the default before your WineX will run successfully. To upgrade your kernel via apt-get do:

Code: Select all: # apt-get install kernel

Which will bring up a list of available kernels. I installed 2.4.20-13.9 by:

Code: Select all: apt-get install kernel#2.4.20-13.9

Then edit your /etc/grub.conf and set that one to be the default.

I also need to compile ntfs read into the kernel is that possible via apt-get or should I just follow the instructions Here, I still need to go back to windows and have all my music/downloads stored on an ntfs partition

Yes, if you don't want to recompile (I wouldn't) you could get the module from this page:

i followed the directions to the apT and after it fetches the file, i get this error:
warning: /var/tmp/rom-xfer.0mH7ko: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, KeyID (some numbers)...
then i get 20 warnings in a row that alternate between "user dude does not exist - using root" to "group dude does not exist - using root"... then shows:
1: apt ##################### [100%]

i take it that it downloaded properly and most likely installed partially thus the 100% but it still doesnt recognize the apt-get command....
wth am i doing wrong here? i am logged in as root and other rpms seem to install fine... speed and memory are not a problem....

Could you explain in a little more detail what you are trying to install and where you got it?
