I think if you will look in /etc/fstab, you will see its fs_vfstype is auto. That works okay, linux is able to recognize the fat partition, but it confuses wineinstall. Last I looked at it, wineinstall was looking for vfat there to tip it off to a windows partition. If you change that from auto to vfat, that may help wineinstall. I will maybe see if I can work out a better way, but in the Mean Time you may as well try that.
I thought about that too, but it's not - here is the line from my /etc/fstab
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 /mnt/dosc vfat defaults 0 0
However, the tools/wineinstall script simply doesn't recognize my windows partition:
Windows was not found on your system, so I assume you want a Wine-only installation. Am I correct? (yes/no)
No, it's not correct. Any suggestions?
You can always edit the ~/.wine/config file yourself if you don't like my suggestion above or it doesn't work.
Yes, but what about all the registry stuff that the wineinstall does? sure, I can point to it, but Won't I damage my actual Windows? (if I use the original windows as C:). Also, how do I copy the registery?
BTW: the wine is from today's (pulled from CVS).
