Re: [gentoo-user] Sharing of wine drives between different users of same machine

My main issue though, for that particular operating system is that the shared c_drive of different wine users was shared there, and it annoys me that certain games now need some reinstalling (fortunately, the save files are in a safe place). Well since I'm going to go and do something a bit tedious anyway, I might as well do it right. I was wondering what strategies you guys use for sharing wine drives between different users. I have 3 kids using the same box for games; wine was one of the main features of using that box. I have previously done some of the following: (1) Everyone's .wine - c:\wine (ntfs drive) which makes some sense, but the bad thing is that usernames are preserved across users. (2) Everyone's c_drive - c:\wine (ntfs drive) Which also makes some sense, but I wonder if registry issues that are user specific point to the wrong places. (3) Everyone's program files - c:\wine (ntfs drive) Which does solve the issue of saving space; but the problem is that registry entries from installing programs don't get shared. What's the proper way to multi-seat wine to make it behave like a multi-user Windows environment? Making the users 'sudo wine' to a specific user might work nicely, or setuid wine to always run as that user. Not really multi-user, and I haven't actually tried either so there might be issues...

Is there a symlink menu.lst on grub.conf? Do you really boot from that partition? the file /boot/grub/grub.conf has the new config. menu.lst is a symlink to grub.conf /boot is the mount point for /dev/sda1 the boot partition the only thing that I changed is to replace the oldest kernel with the newest. The order shouldn't make any difference, I want the default to be my current working kernel. I want to test the new kernel before I make it the default. Point is that this setup was working previously and has done so since I started using gentoo. I have checked to make sure that /dev/sda1 was really mounted at /boot when I copied everything across, and it was. So I don't know what has gone wrong. Matt Did you run grub-install? No, and before I do, given the warnings in the manual, I want to make sure I don't screw up I have a standard partition layout with three partitions sda1 (boot) sda2 (swap) sda3 (the rest). sda1 is the bootable partition So I issue the command grub-instal /dev/sda Correct??
