Enable wine...edit /usr/etc/wine/config

Question

     Enjoying arch manipulation but am not up to the big wine/config setup details.
     Perhaps there is a short description of this
task somewhere available.  :?:

Answer 1

  I went through a copy of the   wine config  and copied it in /usr/etc/wine.config.
   The file follows:WINE REGISTRY Version 2
;; All keys relative to \Machine\Software\Wine\Wine\Config
;; If you think it is necessary to show others your complete config for a
;; bug report, filter out empty lines and comments with
;; grep -v "^;" ~/.wine/config | grep '.'
;; MS-DOS drives configuration
;; Each section has the following format:
;; [Drive X]
;; "Path"="xxx"       (Unix path for drive root)
;; "Type"="xxx"       (supported types are 'floppy', 'hd', 'cdrom' and 'network')
;; "Label"="xxx"      (drive label, at most 11 characters)
;; "Serial"="xxx"     (serial number, 8 characters hexadecimal number)
;; "Filesystem"="xxx" (supported types are 'msdos'/'dos'/'fat', 'win95'/'vfat', 'unix')
;;   This is the FS Wine is supposed to emulate on a certain
;;   directory structure.
;;   Recommended:
;;   - "win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32
;;   - "msdos" for FAT16 (ugly, upgrading to VFAT driver strongly recommended)
;;   DON'T use "unix" unless you intend to port programs using Winelib !

   That is a big file to edit!!!  It doesn/t respond to an entry of....wine... in root
    Gives an error requesting edit of the file.
     Any help would be wonderful!!!!
