Re: [Wine] Debian/Ubuntu .deb packages?!

People are probably anxious because the last working package on Ubuntu
was 0.9.54.

The 0.9.55 package was built with the newer gcc (which is the default in
Hardy), and segfaults for most people if they try to run anything. As
far as I know, it was never fixed – the broken package is still in the
repos.

Found an old dump of the partition lying around in my home dir. Consider the case solved. Thanks for the answers everyone!

Don’t allow to change the drive mapping for C:\ in winecfg probably would be a good start.
Add some explaining text why (in general) you don’t want to change it and explicitly say
that wine has (and needs) its own, separate windows installation (in C:\windows).
