I upgraded from FC2 to FC3 and it broke the sym links to a: and the

thing is my /mnt is empty, I can pop a CD in and it finds it but what
did FC3 do with the entries in /mnt?

I looked for the setup tool that I read was in ./tool but can't find it,
where should I be looking?

Unfortunately I've tried IE5, 6, Quick Books, File Maker Pro, and a
game, with no success on any of them.


I did try to remove wine with rpm -e but on reinstalling it was the same
as it was after I got through thrashing it:

Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not
accessible.

Is anyone running wine on FC3?

How do I start from scratch, or can it be fixed.

The "drives" in dosdevices are just symbolic links. You can recreate them by hand very easily. In a terminal window, just "cd" into the dosdevices directory and then execute:
ln -s ../drive_c c:
ln -s / z:


And for the cdrom and floppy, it sounds like from what James says that you would add them by doing:
ln -s /media/floppy a:
ln -s /media/cdrom d:
