The best help you can get is usually on Wine's home.

Not sure if you can get dosbox using apt-get, but try typing this in the terminal:
Code:
sudo apt-get install Dosbox
. Sudo is a command that gives you temporary root access (will ask for password), apt-get is a program for retrieving packages for your distribution. Once it's installed just type
Code:
dosbox
in the terminal to run it.
