Yes, except that my Drive C is mapped to /mnt/d but that shouldnt make
any difference.  Note that this happens with the 2.6.20.2 kernel from
kernel.org, which the 2.6 kernel is now required in order to run wine
on Slackware 11..

Now that I think about it, I cant get wine to run on the Slack 11 2.4
kernel because of missing kernel support for something, so I had to
get the 2.6 kernel from kernel.org..

When I originally installed this box, the current 2.6 was 2.6.20.1 and
wine installed WinRAR to the menu and the desktop properly.  Then I
broke my install and had to to a clean reinstall of Slack, and so when
I went back to kernel.org, the kernel was 2.6.20.2, so I downloaded it
and compiled and installed..  After that I installed wine, and the
menu shortcuts were put in the wrong folder.  Perhaps I either missed
a config option in the kernel that is affecting this, or something
that was changed in 2.6 actually breaks wine's menu creation?

Like I said, the wine version didn't change between the reinstalls
because I can't use git....
