After an (in?)convenient crash of a particular operating system which I have dual-booted with Gentoo for a while; I am going to reinstall it. 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?
