Questions about wine in Linux

So I'm wondering if I'll be able to use wine to run some programs on an NTFS partition. The programs themselves are win95 programs, but NTFS support is read-only in Linux.
 
You should be able to..... just mount the NTFS partition, and try running wine on the programs from there.

If you're concerned about your data, copy the progs from the NTFS partition to your linux partion, and that'll work great.

Actually, perhaps I should clarify myself: if you're concerned about the data on your NTFS partition, copy it over.
The newest kernels support writing to NTFS, but it's kinda sketchy.

Try codeweavers wine, it's a little easier to use, try here to see.

Other than that, go ahead and install wine, and read the man pages, the readme file, everything that's in it's docs.

If you need more help, ask and I'll try to help.
