wine users - Feb 2010 - Did I do it right?

I recently installed wine 1.1.37 on my new suse 11.2 install. I had wine on an
earlier suse, 11.2, but did a fresh install when I got a new hdd.

Before I had wine on the menu and shortcuts to some windows apps I installed;
now there is nothing on the menu. To be sure, the only thing I have installed
with wine is a game which does not work, although it is in my bottle.

Also, I have noticed that dosdevices folder has a drive c: which has everything,
at least in program files, that the drive c: folder does. And when I replaced
the .exe for the game with a nocd patch, the old .exe was still in the
dosdevices program files. Can anyone explain to me why there is a duplicate
program files, and does it matter if they are not identical?

Ask your distro forum. Vanilla Wine doesn't create any menu entries for
itself, only links for programs you install under Wine.

"c:" under ~/.wine/dosdevices directory is a symlink, not a real
directory. The real directory is ~/.wine/drive_c.
