I dual boot between LM9.0 and win2k. The win2k applications I want are already installed on the win2k. Will I have to install them again on LM9.0 in order to use wine? Or can wine on LM9.0 run those applications that are already installed on the win2k (the win2k is on a FAT32 partition). Thanx, Seedkum
