But well, I would prefer to change the error message to be even more verbose... What about putting a nice URL in it pointing to a page where they could read all about drive configuration in Wine ?
That would work too. But it's just a general pain in the ass even when you know exactly what is going on anyway, it's not like Wine is already too convenient to use or anything.
Because mapping '/' by default is plain ugly in my opinion... It's like shipping some server application with a default blank password :-)
Can't agree, I'm not seeing the security problem here.
Unless you subscribe to the belief that too many Win32 programs have spyware that would be interested in gigs of ELF binaries and config files (as they would be able to see drives/network mappings under windows anyway), I don't see what harm it could do.
