To prove that to yourself, start a terminal session and do this in it: $ cd .wine $ ls -l drive_c and you'll see that Program Files is a directory. Now do this: $ ls -l dosdevices and you'll see this: $ ls -l dosdevices/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 gliding users 10 Aug 21 15:03 c: -> ../drive_c lrwxrwxrwx. 1 gliding users 1 Aug 21 15:03 z: -> / c: and z: are both pale blue because they are symbolic links. It also shows that C: points to .wine/drive:c and z: points to / (the root of the linux filing system. If you now run this: $ ls -l dosdevices/c:/ you'll see exactly the same as running "ls -l drive_c" showed you. If you're still unsure, go out and buy a copy of "Linux in a Nutshell" and *read* what it has to say about the filing system. Keep it by your computer because its a good reference book. Martin > > >
