406 CHAPTER 28 RUNNING MICROSOFT OFFICE UNDER UBUNTU 9. At the end of installation, an Internet Explorer 6 window will open, informing you that the installation has finished. Closing this window will also end the script. 10. You can delete the wine-config-sidenetfolder, as well as any other files you downloaded. Note I saw an error dialog box about ieinfo5.ocx when installing Internet Explorer. Don t worry if you see the same thing, or even a handful of other errors. Chances are everything will still run smoothly. Showing Hidden Files on CDs You need to make one final change so that Wine can see hidden files on certain Windows CDs. This involves manually editing /etc/fstab, the configuration file that controls how and where file systems are mounted (fstab and mounting are covered in Chapter 15), to add the word unhide to the line relating to the CD-ROM within fstab. Here s the procedure: 1. Make sure the CD-ROM drive is unmounted. If you re browsing the CD, close the file window and make sure that any programs that might access the CD are closed, too. 2. Type the following at the GNOME Terminal command prompt: umount /media/cdrom 3. Load the fstab file into the Gedit text editor: sudo gedit /etc/fstab 4. Search for the line that contains the words /media/cdrom0 and add unhide just before the user,noauto entries in the Options column. The final line should look something like this: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 unhide,user,noauto 0 0 5. Save the file and quit Gedit. Installing Microsoft Office The best choice of Microsoft Office product to install is Office 2000. This has a proven record of installing and generally running well under Wine. It also uses file formats that are, for all practical purposes, unchanged in the more recent versions of Office (XP and 2003) and universally recognized in the business world.
