can u please add wine and winetricks preinstalled to support windows users...
Offline
I think most of bbqlinux users do not use/need wine.
You can easily install it by running:
sudo pacman -S wine winetricks
Offline
is there any easy offline method
and how to do it when in live cd or usb....

You can download the needed packages + sig files from one of the arch mirrors and install them via "pacman -U package.xz"
http://ftp.u-tx.net/archlinux/
But i'm pretty sure that wine will try to download some packages like direct x / ie and so on.
This will fail hard without internet connection.

ya i tried to install it offline for many times and always end up with some error and again switches to my windows desktop...
i have to download and install many files to make one program to run....
it is very time consuming...
please add it to the next releases...

Sorry, i'm not going to add it.
Afaik there's currently no linux distribution available with wine preinstalled.
If you really need a specific windows app, then use windows.
It's better than wasting a lot of hours trying to get it running via wine.
Offline
i dont know why you are thinking about other linux distributions ...
BBQLinux should be unique ....
i need to install my reliance modem drivers to connect to internet so i need wine...
Offline
It's unique and the main goal is to support android devs.
No need for wine.
Wine can't deal with any kind of drivers.
You might have a look at Ndiswrapper.
Which modem are you using?
Offline
thanks i will try NDISwrapper
hey i had a compromising idea:-
add feature to " Turn linux features on or off "
like in windows this feature is present in "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Feature"s and "Turn windows features on or off" in left side
and add some additional programs there..which will be turned off by default and if the user wants to load them he will turn on them...

In case it's a usb modem....
Edit wvdial config:
sudo geany /etc/wvdail.conf
Contents of wvdial.conf:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 9600
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = 0
[Dialer reliance_netconnect]
Username = “Add reliance netconnect phone number here without quotes”
Password = “Add reliance netconnect phone number here without quotes”
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Inherits = Modem0
Then run:
sudo wvdial reliance_netconnect
Do not close the terminal!!!
The easier way is to use modemmanager which will be included in next release.
sudo pacman -S modemmanager
sudo systemctl enable modemmanager
sudo systemctl start modemmanager

thank you very much........
and what about "feature " Turn linux features on or off ""
Offline
In case of wine it's probably nearly impossible and will take ages to develop.
Not worth the time.
Offline
thank you very much brother....
don't forget to preinstall NDISwrapper(recomended) and modemmanager in the next release....
Offline
This includes modemmanager and ndiswrapper:
