wine users - Jan 2007 - Install Wine's fake-windows directory in different place

By default Wine installs its fake-windows part into $HOME.
I want rather have it on a separate partition, that I mount as /wine.
How can I do this?

What I have found was:
http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Advanced_Wine_User_Information#Changing_the_location_of_Wine.27s_installation

My steps so far:
- Installed Wine with Synaptic
- # wineprefixcreate --prefix /wine
  - I find the fake directory where I want it!
- WINEPREFIX=/wine export WINEPREFIX
- winecfg
  - still all fine up to here
- double-click (in Nautilus) on the setup.exe of the windows program for
installation
  - installer runs
  - I find the .wine in $HOME has been created.

Maybe I am trying something impossible since I was not able to find any
hint on this?

Thanks

Add 'export WINEPREFIX=/wine' to $HOME/.bashrc (if you use bash). Maybe
you'll have to restart nautilus (or logout and login again).

Run winecfg. Select the Drives tab. Highlight C: Change the path to point to 
the partion you want.
