I've cloned the fedora templateVM and attempting to install WINE software from the templateVM's terminal.

I have edited the firewallvm rules to "allow full access for 5 mins" in the VM Manager, but receive this error; Name or service not known. wget: unable to resole host address 'prdownloads.sourceforge.net'

Strange, but why do you need wget? Wine is in Fedora standard repositories.
In any case you can download  what you need in a dispvm or in a new created appvm and move your files to your cloned template.

Brilliant! Thanks for your reply - great suggestions. I couldn't find WINE in the "software" GUI but just installed it in terminal with yum.
