Thank you.  The reason I mentioned it wasnt to gloat, although I am 
pretty pleased with myself.. ha ha.. it was because I cannot be the only 
one who has this game and has Windows as a dual boot.  The only small 
issue is that Beryl cannot be running with the accelerated window 
manager, but switching to Metacity while leaving beryl running is good 
enough.

I also have NTFS read/write access to my C partition (obviously I guess) 
using NTFS-3g
