CrossOver Games Readme     
Version 7.1.0

July 20, 2008

This file provides basic installation information, 
procedures for reporting bugs, a list of known problems,
and instructions to completely uninstall CrossOver.


BASIC INSTALLATION AND TESTING INSTRUCTIONS:
--------------------------------------------

1.  Select either root install (multi user) or regular user install (suggested)

    This version of CrossOver can either be installed in your
    own account, and then only you can use it, or installed as 
    root which will allow anyone on the computer to use it.

    To install as root, simply start the installer as the
    'root' user.  To install as a regular user, start the
    installer as that user.

    Note that when installing CrossOver as root, you must make 
    sure that you have licenses for all the users that will be 
    using CrossOver. Contact us for multi-user and site licenses.

    From now on we will assume that CrossOver was installed in 
    /opt/cxgames. If you are installing it in your account, 
    substitute /opt/cxgames with $HOME/cxgames in the paths 
    below. Substitute the paths similarly if you installed 
    CrossOver in a non-default location. The installation 
    instructions for multi-user and single-user are otherwise 
    identical, except where noted.


2.  Launch the installer

    You should be able to do this simply by invoking
    'sh install-crossover-games-demo-7.1.0.sh' from the 
    downloaded file or base directory of the CDROM.


3.  Run the installer

    You should be able to follow the basic installation
    instructions, accepting the defaults as they appear.

    At the end of the installation process, click on 
    "Install Windows Software" to add your first Windows program.


4.  Install Windows Software

    The CrossOver installation wizard will now run.

    For future reference, you should be able to
    start this by choosing the 'CrossOver' menu
    choice in your KDE or Gnome 'Favorites' section
    and choosing 'Install Windows Software'.

    You can also launch this from the command line
    by running /opt/cxgames/bin/cxinstallwizard.



DOCUMENTATION:
--------------

If you are running KDE or Gnome, you should have a link
to the documentation in your menu.  Otherwise, you can
find the manual at:

    /opt/cxgames/doc/index.html

If you installed from the CD, there are also printable PDF 
files included in the documentation directory,

    /opt/cxgames/doc



KNOWN ISSUES:
-------------

This version of CrossOver Games should do the following:

    Install easily.
    Easily allow you to pick and choose any of the
       applications on the CrossOver Setup menu and easily and
       cleanly install them.
    Be generally productive with the installed applications.

    Not all applications work perfectly; for a list
       of updated issues and workaround, please visit
       our compatibility center at http://c4.codeweavers.com.



UNINSTALLING CROSSOVER
----------------------

It is best to use the CrossOver uninstaller because it will
remove menu entries and other items created by CrossOver.
To do so, either select the 'Uninstall' menu entry, or run
the following on the command line:

    /opt/cxgames/bin/cxuninstall

You can then safely remove the CrossOver directory, if still
present.  For example:

    rm -rf /opt/cxgames
