   That's by design. Directories need to exist, or otherwise FConfig tries to   
   create them. And we already discussed this (more or less). Just let FConfig   
   create them, as the structure would be on your linux drive. And set the   
   environment variable for the linux modules to whatever the dos/window drive   
   letter needs to be converted on your linux path. So it would be even more   
   convenient if your windows shared the drive with your linux, for instance by   
   using a samba share...

   You could, but good luck with that: editting the binary config files, and not   
   f*cking things up! ;)
