I thought about that too, but it's not - here is the line from my /etc/fstab

/dev/hda5               /mnt/win                vfat    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda3               /mnt/dosc               vfat    defaults        0 0

Yes, but what about all the registry stuff that the wineinstall does? sure, I 
can point to it, but Won't I damage my actual Windows? (if I use the original 
windows as C:). Also, how do I copy the registery? 

BTW: the wine is from today's (pulled from CVS).
