Thank you ffluid for your help on 19-8. I found out that my system does not have wine on it. I just downloaded the file, but have no idea how to unzip it. I downloaded it to my root,/, directory. I woull like to unzip it but it doesnt work.

I entered
[root@localhost root] # rpm -i wine-20020605-2.src.rpm
it comes back with just the directory with no invocation of the command

Please help me with this command syntax.
 
Use rpm -ivh wine-20020605-2.src.rpm

The v option will give details as it installs. You should be fine, try running wine now though.
 
You downloaded the wine source code. Because the file is wine-20020605-2.src.rpm. You need to build it to binaries.
Or you re-download wine binary.
To check where is the files located :
# rpm -ql wine
