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! ;)
