Show me a windows app that will run on a read-only FS. You might get some relief using a technique of shadowing described in <wine>/documentation/installing.sgml, even the doco is obsolete wrt the name of ~/.wine/config, and looks like it spells /c_/ in places when it means /c/. Also you will need to change the config file a bit: ; Wine doesn't pass directory symlinks to Windows programs by default. ; Enabling this may crash some programs that do recursive lookups of a whole ; subdir tree in case of a symlink pointing back to itself. "ShowDirSymlinks" = "1" You are probably better off with a no-windows installation. With Microsoft, the general rule is, the newer, the nastier. Lawson ---oof---
