Ubuntu starting to support windows autorun.inf on cd-rom insertion!

[Vijay Kiran Kamuju]

Hi,

I agree with stefan's views.
We should not hard code the wine path, but should search for it.
If it fails only then only we should resort to it.
The searching should be done first using the package managers like rpm,deb.
Inorder to search for wine path by searching for standard app
installations like wine,cxoffice,cedega in this order)
If it fails then it should search for it using the 'which wine' ouptut.
If that too fails we should use hardcoded paths. (as last resort).

Thanks,
VJ
