Before embarking in the installation of a wine application on knoppix 5.0.1 (pivot_root installed) could anyone report on recent experience on the installation of wine applications on wine-knoppix, be them of any kind?
It is officially recommended not to run wine as root. Therefore, is there any danger in running wine as superuser in knoppix?
To this regard - and in general - the terminal window obtained from pivot_root install
sh-3.1#
on "su" command becomes e.g.
root@KNOPPIX:/home/francesco/povray-3.6#
where the last one is the directory of an application in my home.
Is any difference between superuser and root (not evident from using knoppix)?
Cheers
