Re: Wine-only distro, Virtualbox+Wine to sandbox apps, R/O FS

Haven't seen one.  

1) It's tempting to recommend a stripped-down ubuntu  as the base
environment, if only because that way you can be sure of security updates.

2) it depends on the app.  Some apps expect to be able to write
to their install directory, for instance.  You can do tricks like using
a copy-on-write filesystem or aufs mount, and throw away the
changes after each run.    You can also make all the files be
symlinks to readonly files, in those directories that the game requires
to be writeable.

3) You can set WINEPREFIX, use a symlink for ~/.wine, or
you can set ~/.wine/dosdevices/c: to be a symlink to somewhere.

Good luck, and keep us posted on your progress!
