WINE has MANY dependencies, you will have a VERY hard time getting it installed without a internet connection. To do it correctly, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install wine Apt will to the rest.

You simply just don't run Windows programs on Linux at all...it really doesn't work even with WINE installed and properly configured. If you need to use a Windows program, use it on a Windows system instead of Linux, or find a Linux alternative.

Well, in my case, when I tried to install wine, I typed in the command line: sudo apt-get install wine, then I got the following message: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine : Depends: wine1.6 but it it not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I don't know what does this mean, and how to fix it. Please help. Thanks.
