[Wine] Have I got my CentOS Wine installation correct

[bigal]

I am running CentOS 5.5 with a KDE desktop On a desktop machine that is part of a local peer to peer network. The way of installing new software in this machine is using a software distro that contains the package needed. In my case it was via RPMForge. This has to be done as root despite all the instructions not to in the Wiki and FAQs – and yes I have read all of both.

In spit of that Wine 1.2.1 appears to be installed although I do not have any folders or files in my personal (not root) home directory that contains the name Wine or any variations of Wine. What I do have, however, are three files in my System folder. “Wine Configuration”, “Wine File” and “Wine Software Uninstaller”.

I have looked in “Wine Configuration” and all the GUI options are present as described in the docs.  In “Wine File” I see that there is a Z drive.  I know that Z:\ is the default drive for my Linux file system  and that appears to be OK as that is what I see in Z, with the inclusion of (highlighted automatically) my user folder, as well as folders for the other users on this machine.

What I am puzzled about, and the reason for this post is to ask that, as far as you all are able to tell from the above, is everything as it should be considering I should be able to use Wine as a user rather than root? I have no wish to start configuring things if this, original installation, is not quite as it should be.
