Well, you do need somewhere to store windows files... wine.conf is asking for
drive C and the \windows directory. It _is_ possible to make C drive a unix
filesystem, BUT know that the resulting files ARE case-sensitive. In other
words, the windows vfat partition is not absolutely required, you can store
windows binaries on the ext2fs, but the filename conventions are likely to send
you for more aspiring and minoxadil (after you have torn out your hair,
too)... because the winapps are going to be unable to assume everything is
upper-case....
