well i've been having fun messing around with winex, and after a while of lurking around in #winex in openprojects.net, found something really spiffy
a dude named ElmerFudd has made scripts that will automatically get the source from cvs and build it and basically do almost everything for you (when i was doing winex from cvs manually, i had problems configuring it).
his site is http://ting.homeunix.org/cvs_wine/GetWineX.html (sorry, preview wasn't showing my link as working). I used the Winex 2.2 release, and after running the script (and a long time for compiling) just run the binary name (winex22 in my case) and it'll setup a fake "c" drive and a basic config file. To install, say halflife, mount it, then cd /mnt/cdrom, then run 'winex22 Setup.exe', and it'll proceed to install in your fake 'c' drive (which is a folder in the home directory of the user that did it).
I haven't done this yet, but if you run the executable under a different user, i think it'll set up a seperate c drive and config. I'm not positive about this, but i figure thats what it does, which is a slight bummer if you have multiple users wanting to run the same software.
drop by #winex and tell him thanks if this helps you
