Hi! 
Part 1 follow-up
Follow-up question for the one above. What entry should I place in
/etc/fstab for /c ? I tried the following (taking the same format from
my floppy), but it doesn't work:

/dev/hda1            /c         auto    noauto,owner     0 0


Part 2
I tried to run winecheck (with scenario as above) and got a 99.5%
correctness score (after some modifications on  ~/.wine/config/).
There's one entry that is SUSPICIOUS

Here's the message I got -
002. Checking for correct .so lib config (please wait)...   SUSPICIOUS
(libwine.so found 3 times: /usr/local/libwine.so
/home/wine-20011004/library/libwine.so /home/wine-20011004/libwine.so
- ADVICE: check whether this is really ok.

Question-
Need I be concerned about this?


Part 3
  I tried to run mspaint, closed it, run it again, and its okay. But I
tried to run Notepad and it launces the first time around. (wine
-winver win 95 /c/wordpad.exe), but when I try to close and then
relaunch it, it cannot anymore. I also tried to killall wine before I
restarted notepad.exe, but same results

  Here's the message: 
  
  FIXME:pthread_rwlocl_unlock (occurs around 8 times and then here's
the error-)
  err:win32:_EnterSysLevel; (0x401024ec, level 1): Holding 0x406e8064,

Question- 
Any steps I'm missing here?

Thanks in advance...
