I moved the download to my '~/vinyard/installers/' folder. Using my favorite browser I surfed to () and downloaded the latest version of GrabIt (in my case this was version 1.6.2 Гџeta). Within this folder I created two more subfolders, namely 'installers' and 'launchers'. I named the new folder 'vinyard', allthough anything will do. I wanted all WINE related things to be stored in one place, so I made a new folder in my home for this. (I made 'My Music' link to a different folder on my Linux partition).

#Installation grabit driver

In my case I changed to default Sound Driver from OSS to ALSA and changed some directory links Start Wine configuration and change things you deem approriate. WinecfgIn my case the newly added item didn't show up until I rebooted (Old Windows habits, die hard.). I added a menu-item to 'System > Preferences' and named it 'Wine configuration', selected some generic icon and set it to run the following command This will start the 'Alacarte' programm which will allow you to Add/Remove items to your gnome-menu. So, I navigated my gnome-menu and selected 'System > Preferences > Menu Layout'.

Now that WINE was installed I would like to be able to configure it. In order to install/run GrabIt this step isn't necessary, since the default settings work nicely!

In short, it boils down to this (for Ubuntu Edgy):

#Installation grabit install

In order to install WINE I simply followed Wine-HQ's instructions, found here: the Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer) I based this how-to on my installation of GrabIt on my 32-bit Ubuntu Edgy (6.10) desktop installation. I also want to give something back to the great Ubuntu community. I recently 'converted' to Ubuntu Linux and I'm certain more people, like me, would consider not havingДЄ similar binary news leecher a showstopper from switching over to Linux entirely (completely ditching Windows). In the future, I'm surely going to give HellaNZB a whirl. HellaNZB(If anyone knows another application, I'll add it to the list.) therefor I've compiled this list of native applications they can try first: I can imagine that 'purists' would like to try and prevent Win32 apps from being installed. So, this how-to focusses on installing GrabIt using WINE (()). First of all I'd like to point out that I haven't tried out any native (Linux) newsreaders yet.ДЄs far as I could tell, from reading the forums, none of them came close to GrabIt's ease of use.
