Dear friends and developers of WINE,
I've been using your application now for some time, and it works quite well yet. However, I found the mapping of Drive Z: to root, which seems a bit strange to me. I've also read some of your discussion on this topic, too. Personally, I'd consider this a maybe issue of security. Nowadays Linux users don't care as much about security as server admins would do. Alas, Linux being a multi-user system by tradition should take care of "normal" home desktop users trying to migrate from proprietary realms.
It would help a lot if WINE would do a more secure installation by default, but this is only my 2p.
(Maybe it's possible just to leave out the Z: mapping?)
rm ~/.wine/dosdevices/z:
You can also adjust the "wineprefixcreate" script not to create it anymore.
Ciao, Marcus
