Simple WINE Config Question

[bushy]

I currently have a multi-boot PC with Vista and Slacko puppy sharing one HDD.
In the Wine Configuration app, on the drives screen, it shows by default a path "/mnt/floppy"
What is the purpose of this path statement? I do not have a floppy on my system, should I change the path to ../drive_c?



Thanks in advance

Does that mountpoint exist on your system?

Does this help answer you question?
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda3 / ext2 defaults 0 1
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=2,mode=620 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,rw 0 0

I am learning my way through Linux and am not confident in my understanding of its operation.
So as I understand it although I do not have a floppy installed it does show up in the OS.

I installed Wine to be able to use a Windows USB OS installer called Universal USB Installer from PendriveLinux.com.

There are two issues for me, one is the Wine config app and the other is the USB Installer app. Both default to A:/

Maybe A:/ is really my USB port, is that possible?

You have a mount point for it. As to why you have one when presumably you didn't add it, check your BIOS to see if there's a floppy drive enabled. The installer for your distro may have detected that and created an entry for it in /etc/fstab.
