Alright guys, please don't yell at me....
This is a challenge my instructor gave to me and as I couldn't get it to work on my own I'm trying to find any way with which to pull this off.
The thing is as an experiment he wanted me to see if I could get corel word perfect onto knoppix and get it to run, now I can get wine up and going but everytime I try to install word perfect I get to where it's going to start installing and it pops up saying the location doesn't exist and wine exits. The machine in questiong is dual booting xp and knoppix 3.3. I've even tried installing it in xp and then copying it out into knoppix and still no luck. Any other options? Or do I need to just chalk this one up as a loss?
My teacher knows nothing of linux so he challenged me with this just to see if it would accept other applications. His thinking is that an operating system is only as good as the applications it can run and I have to agree with 'em. I appreciate any answers or comments at all...
