How do you mean it doesn't work?  "mount -a"  fails with that line?  Or
wineinstall still doesn't find your windose?  It won't.  It looks for a
fstype of "msdos" or "vfat" as a clue.  When it was written, I guess
"auto" wasn't an fstype.  If it is vfat, call it vfat.  wineinstall
wants to help you, but you have to help it out on the hard parts.

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

I don't think so.  If your source is really in /home/wine-20011004, it
is normal.  It is an odd place to put source, but mine is in
/oof/Wine-20011004, so I won't say too much.  I hope
/usr/local/libwine.so is a typo.  It should install into

/usr/local/lib/liwine.so

Don't know about this.
