linux is a bit easyer. only thing it needs to be done is modify ryzom launch script on second client and add
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_ryzomalt
to second line, so wine will launch second copy from itself (and ryzom cant detect that its already running).
ofcourse running "WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_ryzomalt wineprefixcreate" from xterm to init that directory is needed.

this is where it gets interesting... with windows, you can only run 2 copys i think... in linux... well, how fast is your computer hehe ;-)

for forcing second ryzom to second CPU... dont know ;-) as i dont have second CPU... is it even needed in linux ?
searching "linux pset" from web should give some pointers.

tip: for faster switching between ryzom's, tell window manager that you want focus follow mouse... that is, you only need to move mouse cursor to second ryzom and it has keyboard transfered to it. in windows, you need tweak ui to enable this (x-mouse function). ofcouse, you need to run ryzom in windowed mode for this.
