wine without ntfs

[Zach]

Windows programs are generally installed within wine, just as they
would be installed within windows.  So, for all but the most simple
programs, simply running a program that was installed within another
windows installation probably won't work.

As far as ntfs support, wine can read whatever filesystems your kernel
enables you to read.  So, if you can read your ntfs partitions from
elsewhere in linux, wine should be able to read those.  If not, then
wine won't be able to either.
