[Wine] C:\ doesn't save

[John Drescher]

Add a link in .wine/dosdevices for c:
Here is what works for me:

cd .wine/dosdevices
ln -s ../drive_c c:


Here is a listing of my .wine/dosdevices folder:

ls -al .wine/dosdevices/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 john users 144 May 25 23:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 john users 192 Jun  3 00:09 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users  10 Jun 20 00:30 c: -> ../drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users  10 Jun 20 00:30 d: -> /mnt/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users  10 Jun 20 00:30 d:: -> /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users   1 Jun 20 00:30 e: -> /
