[gentoo-user] Good ways to wine
Hi. I have recently setup the stock version of wine and a small win98se partition. In my fstab I made a little entry for users to mount the win98 partition so they have read write permissions. I noticed that Wine will once and a while move directories around giving them garbled names. Thus making win98 pretty unstable until the garbled folders files are moved back to their proper place.With the way I have things setup at the moment. Many win32 applications have worked very well through Wine. But I fear it will in the end tear up the actual Windows partition. To make a long story short I would just like some good tips for setting up Wine with an existing win98se partition if anyone has them. All i really want to achieve is MS office.
