I got wine setup, but I have a little problem I think I may know why but I just need your opinion just to be sure. The problem I think is happening is Wine is trying to write to the NTFS partition and it's mounted as read only, plus SUSE 10.1 kernel doesn't support writing to NTFS.

Look at these error messages:

Any thoughts about the errors? I should try and get NTFS write support or is it a bad idea to let Wine write to the NTFS?

Let me give a little more information, basically before I try to run the programs I first edited my fstab file to mount the ntfs partition.

/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs rw,users,umask=022 0 0

This basically gives root full access but allows users and other to just read it. But I know that NTFS write is not supported with this SUSE kernel so I'll fix that later.

Now I just mount the ntfs partition "mount -a -t ntfs" to mount all the ntfs in the fstab file.

Then I back up my wine folder and then I deleted original folder.

Then I created a symbolic link
ln -s /mnt/sda1 ~/.wine/drive_c

So what this is telling me is I need NTFS write support, but I am just unsure at this moment that I should be playing around with the NTFS partition
