Any success with Wine and Linux Mandrake 8.0?

Perhaps I should rephrase the question. There is a problem or anomaly
with the Wine setup. The Wine setup does an automatic search for the
Windows or winnt path only. Rather than typing in a new path, why not
click on the button and have it change from /mnt/win_c to /mnt/win_d
rather than other, and have the system paths stay the same.
I have winnt4 installed on c drive or /mnt/win_c but I want access to
/mnt/win_d.

On the second step of winesetup, I clicked on the button and select
other. In the path, I typed in /mnt/win_d
When I select /mn/win_d, the Wine setup changed the paths and profiles
to F:\Windows. I have Windows NT4 SP6a installed.

Any thoughts?
