Wine issues

[dysharmonic]

Hi

I'm trying wine for the first time. Did enuff homework for the installation, and now having a bit of confusion regarding the configuration.

I'm dual booting Win XP and RHL 7.3. XP is in NTFS. I take it that Linux wont be able to support NTFS w/o a kernel recompile.

BTW, I'm on a kernel version of 2.4.18-3, which comes w/ the CDs. When I had first installed RHL 7.3 I installed and recompiled kernel 2.4.18-5, this kernel version was supposed to support my nVidia GeForce and sound. But I never got it working, so I switched to kernel 2.4.18-3 and never did a recompile and now my Linux is in glorious colors!

So the idea of another kernel recompile is just scary for I'm scared I'd lose X again :(

But do I really need to recompile kernel 2.4.18-3 to get NTFS support?

Please suggest.

Thanx.

I can read NTFS drives easy, just type:

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda* /(your mount dir here)

at least it works for me. =)

--btw, that's only read support--
