Hai!
So umm... yeah leaving didn't last too long lerl, but I've somehow managed to screw my FL stuffs by not having a windows partition. Right now I have 3 choices to get my freelancer fix:
Run Freelancer in Wine
Run Windows XP in a Virtual Machine
Attempt to somehow get my computer to run that recovery program that may or may not be on the hard drive
Put freelancer on my touchscreen windows laptop/tablet/banana
Number 1 doesn't work for multiplayer, at all. Tried the work arounds, nothing. Number 2 is what I used to do, but it's worse on my Core i5 laptop with a dedicated graphics card than on my 2008/2007 Windows Dual Core Pentium laptop with integrated graphics that ran Vista (before I got rid of it). Number 3 is really tricky, and I'm not sure how to get the recovery to run without wiping everything, and I don't want to do that. Finally, Number 5 is just dumb and I can't play Freelancer on a touchscreen thingy that's meant for study.
I'll suggest to update your plan C to "shrink bubuntu partition making 30GB free space, and install Win there".
I like the install-to-banana idea tho. ;D
P.S. Wine's dplay sux, but you can try old version of it - i seen report of dplay on Wine v1.1.10 with native libs working fine. DIdn't tested it though, i'm too lazy 8|
