  FWIW, it seems that both RedHat and Mandrake come with a script that
does the correct setup at boot.

  All it does is:

/sbin/modprobe binfmt_misc &>/dev/null

echo ':windows:M::MZ::/usr/local/bin/wine:' \
                  >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

echo ':windowsPE:M::PE::/usr/local/bin/wine:' \
                  >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

  bye,

Strange game.
The only winning move 
is not to play.
What about a nice play of chess ?
