No, not anything important as root! Just run installers that are for
system-wide usage while running as root, or using a different account if
the administrator is paranoid enough. See what I wrote at
http://www.winehq.com/News/2000-25.html#FTR to see what I mean - I
explicitly say "administrator's account", *not* root (except in the
coverage of what tools/wineinstall does by default, but the admin is free
to do it manually with a different account, since it's explained clearly
what to do). And there's a warning at the bottom warning against using the
administrator account for anything other than installing.
