On my Debian Sid system, I CAN double click. I did not do anything I recall to enable this. I assume (maybe incorrectly) that binfmt package is what enables this. So how does one configure this correctly? 1. The above-mentioned virus vunerability--is this true. (RULE--never click on anything in emails would apply in linux as well, even if proper security/permissions would stop a virus). 2. Some .exe's should NOT run with WINE! .net programs should go through mono. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
