Thank you. The reason I mentioned it wasnt to gloat, although I am
pretty pleased with myself.. ha ha.. it was because I cannot be the only
one who has this game and has Windows as a dual boot. The only small
issue is that Beryl cannot be running with the accelerated window
manager, but switching to Metacity while leaving beryl running is good
enough.
I also have NTFS read/write access to my C partition (obviously I guess)
using NTFS-3g
