So I have Ubuntu and am going to have WINE. How do I install BZ2 and possibly fs2? Oh, and does fs2 work with 1.2?

Its wont work on 1.2 patch and fs2 is for 1.3 5ta1.
Why use an operating system you don't know how to install stuff to?
Here, check out Neilk1's website and see what mods are for what patches.

Because win2k is slow and I don't have a CD for anything else.
Tweak it ... windows 'can' run faster than the other OS's I know. It just wont do it out of the box ...
(Not sure about Vista though, but I will skip that one, and most likelly '7' as well ...)
Well it isn't booting right now so its kinda hard to tweak it.

Because you want to learn :)
Well, if you shoot yourself in the foot by not doing proper backups before installing things... it's a really expensive learning experience.

At least I backed up my important files. I didn't have media large enough to back up to. Besides I think I like Ubuntu better even though it's less compatible. What would the community recommend? Try to fix the windows install or remove it and claim the extra space?
BZ2 requires d3dx9 to be installed under WINE. The 1.3 patch additionally requires vcrun2008 (I think). On top of that under the 'libraries' tab of winecfg, you need to create an entry called 'dbghelp' and set its setting to "native, then builtin". The dependencies for wine can be installed via a shell script called 'winetricks' (google it), but there are other wine helpers which will install dependencies or even full windows apps for you.
I have wine completely and properly installed now.
Where might I find d3dx9?
Just install something that uses it ...
I just did a full reinstall of XP and havent yet installed a game, still do have 9.0c installed ... so it comes with other stuff ..

Again ... google is your friend .. :P
I knew sum1 would say that. It's less trouble to ask here, because I know that I'm getting the right thing.
EDIT: Unless of course the link they give is just a Google search.
Oh and for anyone using Ubuntu get wine and run blender through that. It's much simpler and the Linux version doesn't even work right.

sometimes the linux version of some software isn't the latest, depending on you distro version, cause nobody wanted to compile the latest version because, well, just because. I know, cause the same thing happened to me for something else. If you are wanting the latest and greatest, NEVER rely on the built in software installer. get the sc from the website and compile it yourself. If you are serious about switching to ubuntu, go completely.
EDIT: win2k? ok, gotcha....
Seriously. Wine is much easier. With linux I had to download every package to support blender before I could install but with wine I just had to get python and blender installers and I was done.

it may be better to download all the packages to support blender for you distro, because you won't be able(I'm pretty sure) to run any software you install by wine as fast as the linux version. depending on what distro version(which do you have?) and your computing power, you may not notice it at first, but it is definitely true.

And btw I got the direct x installer but it's giving me errors. It doesn't say what except for look at the error log in the windows folder. I do but I can't understand the code.
My impression is that direct x installers don't work so hot in WINE
Ok so I install bz2 and 1.2 patch in wine (winehq said that 1.2 is better than 1.3 for wine) but it's all messed up, as in the display. It's black except for the buttons, the opening movie doesn't play and all dialogue boxes are white. Any idea what's wrong?
