Better to have something like Ivman call out a wine helper script to read /etc/fstab and make the changes on the fly. Wineserver could check /etc/fstab on start up too. The check on start can be controlled by a setting. Drive letters that are created on the fly are temporary while wineserver is running. The drive letters set up through winecfg or ~/.wine/dosdevices are permament as long as the devices or filesystems do exist. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
