tools/wineinstall calls tools/wineconf if you are making a "wine with 
windows" installation. On my system this sets up the config file with 
the correct setup for my cd-rom but not my floppy. For some reason this 
is not done at all on a "wine without windows" install.

Do ya wana fix it or start a bug report.
