1. It takes quite a bit of work to get a winmodem working. Maybe you could elaborate on your problems a little bit more? So you can't do cat /proc/whatever as root either?

2. Little more info please. So are you asking how to install those libs? Or are they already installed and not being recongnized as such?

3. Should work.

4. *.exe are windows executable files, so they won't work in linux. They may work with wine (www.winehq.com) but not certain. Games do run in linux, games that are made for linux that is.

2. xine (says it plays dvd's) instructions are ./confiure the lib file and 'make all install' this appears towork ok.. then do the same for the ui-0.9.2 file but it checks all and cannot file configure file.. says before xine-ui can compile set the 'ld_library_path' to the install dir. ??? do not know how or what...

1. Try cat /proc/pci. There is a space between ' cat ' and ' /proc/pci '.
