[SOLVED] Setting up virtualbox & wine and on x86_64

Hello again

Ok so this should be my last annoying noob post, I have 64-bit Arch setup correctly with gnome and everything. However, I still have a few questions starting with how do I install virtualbox & wine on x86_64? I tried to install virtualbox with pacman -S virtualbox_bin 3.1.2-1 and that didn't work and I haven't even made an attempt with wine yet. Can I safely install a bin32 version of wine? - The wiki didn't make that very clear.

Additionally, I have copied a lot of backup data to my home folder that belongs to the user 'root'. Is there a way that I can, via command line make everything in my home belong to my user?

Both programs can be found in the AUR:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9753
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7915

You can install yaourt first and then use it to install other packages from AUR:

ok thanks, I am just going to assume that its safe to install wine bin32. In the mean time, if I chown username my home folder will that change the ownership of every sub-directory/file?

Edit: Found it, thanks anonymous_user.

chown -hvR user /home/user

Solved
