1. Install wine 1.0.1 or higher version
2. Insert the FineReader-CDROM into the drive
3. Open a console
4. In some distributions (slackware and others) you have to mount your cdrom as root, in other distributions (suse, mandriva and others) this step is not needed, but automagically done.
To become root type the command
su
(password)
Then mount the drive with the command
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
(or another mountpoint if needed)
Leave root-status with the command
exit
5. Change directory to this drive with the command (different in different flavours of linux)
cd /media/FR70PRO (suse 10.1)
or
cd /mnt/FR70PRO (slackware 10.0)
or
cd /mnt/cdrom
6. Enter this command
msiexec /iABBYY\ FineReader\ 7.0\ Professional\ Edition.msi
7. Installation should begin. Follow the instructions.
