3. Create the 'paths' file as instructed in this thread.
4. Make sure that the user data folder contents get copied to whatever path you set up in the paths file.

After that, it should at least start up. I haven't attempted to play around with it yet.
This thread is as old as they come, but I recently starting dabbling in Ubuntu, and thought I would test out Wine with OOTP 8 free edition. This post helped me out greatly. Thank you
