How to get Old Windows 3.1 Applications Running on Debian Linux, but forwarded to your Windows Machine using XMing, a X Windows Server Forwarding Tutorial

What you’ll need for getting old Windows 3.1 applications running.

one thing to note:
I read recently that MSDOS applications are having problems in WINE (the solution I have below.) On that note, if you’re having problems, try running the program in DOSBox on your windows machine!

apt-get install alsa

Which will install ALSA, a Debian sound environment,
And

apt-get install xserver-xorg-core

Yes, I had very little success getting any WINE application running without the “X” windows setup.

apt-get install wine

Install Wine.

Now, let’s say yo’ure on a desktop PC and you want to connect

Continuing on..

winecfg

Lets you configure WINE when you install it. :O

alsaconf

And that lets you configure Alsa. It should be done.

Last few moments:

Follow this tutorial to get PuTTY to forward your X Session to XMing:

So let’s go over this:

  1. Putty is set up to receive windows from your server
  2. Your computer is set up to receive windows from Putty
  3. Your Linux server is ready to create windows for use with WINE.
