Current:
Note that one change you can make that will dramatically
effect Wine's behaviour is to change whether or not
Wine uses a true Windows partition, mounted under Linux,
or whether it uses an empty Windows directory.First (failed) attempt at revising it:
Note to experimenters: one change you can make that may
dramatically improve Wine's behaviour is to change whether or not
Wine uses a true Windows partition, mounted under Linux,
or whether it uses an empty Windows directory....and that's where I got mixed up about one change between two choices, or two binary choices with four possible outcomes.
Anyway it occurs to me that 'wine' either runs off a directory or a partition, one or the other. Therefore "or not" and the second "whether" don't belong.
Second try:
Note to experimenters: one change you can make that may
dramatically improve Wine's behaviour is to change whether
Wine uses a true Windows partition mounted under Linux,
or an empty Windows directory.Well that's better, but something still puzzles me. What the heck is an "EMPTY Windows directory"??? A plain old "Windows directory" is where MS Windows is stored, that's clear. But an EMPTY one would seem to be where MS Windows WAS stored but is now erased -- and one empty directory is just like another, so there'd be no reason to have once been a 'Windows' directory. An "EMPTY OS/2 directory" could do the same job.
Should it say "an empty directory"? No, because 'wine' would find nothing to emulate in an empty directory. So despite progress, the intended meaning remains elusive.
More questions. In "whether wine uses", the verb 'uses' applies to which variable or variables in the '.wine/config' file? I'm guessing these two but it's better to make sure:
[wine]
"Windows" = "C:\\windows"
"System" = "C:\\windows\\system"So case #1, "a true Windows partition, mounted under Linux", would also require something like:
[Drive C]
"Path" = "/mnt/c" # where /mnt/c might be /dev/hda2
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "/mnt/c"
"Filesystem" = "win95"And case #2 "an empty Windows directory" (shrug!) would require something like:
[Drive C]
"Path" = "/home/foo/c"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "psuedo C drive"
"Filesystem" = "win95"Is the above correct?
