wine users - May 2003 - ./tools/wineinstall not able to recognize my Windows partition.

Hi All,
   I downloaded wine-20030508 and compiled as the root user. In the end when I 
run the ./tools/wineinstall as user...its says 

I am assuming you want to create a no-windows configuration yes/no? When I say 
no it asks me to create the configuration file manually.

I am wondering why is it not able to recognize the /mnt/windows filesystems??? 

Here is how my etc/fstab looks like.....BTW I am using Mandrake 9.1


/dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda2 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount 
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount 
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0


My windows partition has the following privileges

drwxr--r--   25 root     root        16384 Dec 31  1969 windows/
drwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            0 May 18 10:11 floppy/
drwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            0 May 18 10:11 cdrom/


I tried changing it to 777 for windows it does not allow me to do that.


Thanks,

For a user to have read/write access, you should do something like this, 
putting in your own user uid and gid (from the files /etc/passwd and 
/etc/group).

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat 
iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,uid=501,gid=501 0 0 none /proc proc 
defaults 0 0

However, are you really sure you want to do that? I strongly recommend 
that you create a "fake" windows install, and just copy over any files
you want from the real Windows. Otherwise, you risk messing up the real 
Windows.

What files exactly do I need to copy over?


Thanks,

I did read some doc but not all of it. I thought wine would compile just 
like any other app, especially after reading this:
http://www.winehq.org/Docs/wine-user/x520.shtml

I should have read a bit further:

Typically, the files (mostly DLLs) in windows\system and fonts in 
windows\Fonts. Copy them into the corresponding directory in the fake 
install.

In general, the only native DLL I use by default is msvcrt.dll, because 
the wine version still needs a lot of work. Other DLLs I only use on a 
case by case basis, configured in my ~/.wine/config.
