How simple is it?
Its as simple as installing it on Windows.
Requirements:
A computer with Linux OS installed
WineX 3.3.1x or later
nVIDIA Videocard
nVIDIA's Linux driver installed
Thats about it.
How to install:
Insert the CD into drive, and mount the cdrom, as you normally do.
Open a shell Konsole and type winex3 /mnt/cdrom/Setup.exe (replace "cdrom with the drive you monted the drive to)
After install you need to unzip the contents of the msvcp60.zip file from the Windows98 dir on the Enigma CD to ~/.TransGaming_Drive/windows/system32
Then browse to the folder where you have Patch A's install files and type winex3 EPatch.exe (EU/AUS Retail owners repeat this step to apply Patch B aswell)
When done you can start Enigma from your desktops start menu or by browsing to Enigma folder and type winex3 Enigma.exe
-Enjoy
