Odd question - shared work folder?

[Mr. Brightside]

I want to set my laptop up to dual boot Windows XP and Debian Linux. Simple enough question but I fear the answer is no; is it possible to have a FAH installation on both OSs and have them share the same work folder (to avoid multople ongoing WUs) so I don't feel obliged to balance my usage of each OS?

Thanks, null

And with Wine? I'm pretty confident this would work in theory, just last time I tried it with Wine I got stuck configuring Wine to allow FAH to run on startup. And my understanding was that if I did get it working, it would prevent me from using Wine for anything else (don't know if I will need/want it yet but would be nice to have it available).

If someone could give a second opinion on the chances I might be tempted to give it a go. Might take me a while to figure out how though, I'm still quite the Linux noob really

Thanks, null

I've had problems before just getting two Windows installs to work on the same WUs without restarting progress each time

I recently got that working when I was dual booting Vista Beta 2 and XP. I left the FAH folders on the XP partition and just re-ran the consoles with configonly to register the services in Vista. Worked flawlessly. I seem to have subconciously been ignoring everything said in this thread, because I'm going to give it a go with Wine when I get around to sorting the laptop out (might be a while yet) Sorry for being stubborn, will let you all know how I get on (probably give up knowing me)
