What is WINE?
WINE provides LINUX USERS with a WINDOWS environment.
Wine can work at either a 32 BIT COMMAND PROMPT or
with a Full Windows Desktop. Nearly every program that
runs in a normal Windows environment runs in WINE.
...but not all of them...unfortunately.
This means Windows Users learning to love LINUX often get
frustrated and give up; going back to their defective
"Real" Windows environment. This is a mistake.
When running WINE you often find your Windows programs
run FASTER and more reliably, plus you are 100% VIRUS FREE
since the actual operating system running the show is LINUX.
Therefore, we suggest you try at least 10 - 20 programs in
WINE, get to know the Windows Desktop that Wine provides and
see for yourself whether or not you really need REAL Windows
to enjoy the many good programs written for Windows.
Sadly, no matter how many good programs are created WINDOWS
itself is an infected bit of garbage which proves that "...after more
than 30 years, Microsoft is incapable of turning out a reliable
product."
Stop wasting more time and money on Windows.
Switch to LINUX permanently
and your life is absolutely guaranteed to improve in an instant.
So to add a D: drive that points to the /mnt/sdb1 USB Flash drive, you simply type /mnt/sdb1 in the path.
In a way, you could think of C: as /mnt/sda1 and a USB drive as /mnt/sdb1 etc. HOWEVER, depending on when things are plugged in and light up, these drive letters can MOVE ABOUT, so be careful. There is a small hard drive at the bottom of the Pocket Rocket Linux DESKTOP that you can click to see what drives are currently connected and what data is on those drives.
WARNING: THE CLONE UTILITY WIPES OUT ALL DATA ON THE NEW USB FLASH DRIVE. Therefore, that data should be READ and copied somewhere else before cloning a new drive.
HOW TO GET A WINDOWS DESKTOP:
The WINE CFG program also allows you to set up a Desktop background, ICONS etc. and even install new programs (if you can't do it from a command prompt). If you want more information on advanced configuration of a WINDOWS STYLE DESKTOP, you should type WINE FOR LINUX in a Google Search Box and get ready to become a WINE TECH. It is just as easy (easier) to configure WINE to behave like a full Windows Desktop than it is to configure a real Windows Desktop and the final results are more reliable. Since every WINDOWS user has their own idea about what sort of Desktop they want, we'll leave that configuration process to you and your favorite Tech.
