I am new to linux and wine and could do with expert advice and directions. I installed suselinux-8.1 and its version of wine to run win-3.1 programs. I also have 2 dos-win3.1-fat partitions which are `seen' by linux as [c:=/fat-c & d=/fat-d]. They are both rw. The wine setup established a fake dos-win environment in /home [ext3] which it highly recommended be used rather than the /fat-c partition so I will use it rather than /fat-c. I will not use the msdoswin files. 1.I will NOT copy the msdoswin files to the `fake' doswin in /home. Correct? However, the help file is silent on the use of applications and where they should be positioned.. 2. Can I use the applications directly from the /fat-c and /fat-d partitions? or should [must?] I copy them to the fake environment in /home? It would be much more convenient not to copy the applications and run them from where they are now. 3. In either case I would use the output data in the /home environment [ext3] rather than /fat-c or /fat-d. Ok? 4. I also have a dos program I want to run. Is there any way of using Wine to also run dos? thanks
