On my systems, I point the "C" drive to a VFAT partition owned and writable by the group "users". (I also use WIN386.SWP as an extra Linux swap partition and tell the X font server to gather fonts from /C/WINDOWS/FONTS/.) This means that a malicious user could delete files or install trojan-horse programs, but one takes the same risk with a shared Win95 system. Sharing a fake C drive between two instances of Wine run by the same user should not be a problem. On the other hand, you could do this even with the same Wine binary; read about the WINEPREFIX environment variable in the Wine manpage. > If could be better, as I think, to separate the c:\ directories, how safely do > it for wine ? Edit ~/.wine/config and set the paths to whatever you desire. Use 'mkdir' and 'chmod' to make sure they exist and have suitable permissions. -- resume at http://www.cse.msu.edu/~lamber45/resume.htm PGP key at http://www.cse.msu.edu/~lamber45/newmail.htm#GPGKey _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
