I am attempting to create a folder for my wineprefixes on my external hard disk. The plan is to symlink to that location from inside my user folder (ie. ~/.wine/PREFIXES -> $iomega/.wineprefixes) For reference: $iomega=/media/Iomega_HDD This is a 400GB external drive with a single NTFS partition. The plan is to create folders for all my WINEPREFIXes at $iomega/.wineprefixes (Example:

Hi, I'm still a bit new to Linux and Wine, so please bear with me if this is a stupid question. I've been putting all my windows applications in their own wineprefixes, and now I thought I'd put some of them in my data partition, because there's always lots of free space there and many of my games take a lot of space. But when I try to create a new wineprefix on my data

Hello. I have been pretty satisfied with wine since I have become aware of its existance and am having a pretty good time with it. There are, however, a couple issues I can't wrap my head around. First of all, I cannot run regedit as root, it says: Code: wine: /home/mokuren/.wine is not owned by you I don't know how the root is supposed to "not own" something. This isn't

I wanted to ask to the wine experts something about WINEPREFIX or the crossover bottles... how does the concept of "bottles" compares/differs with the concept of application virtualization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_Virtualization) used by VMware's Thinstall (http://www.thinstall.com/products/virtualization_suite.php) (aside for the .exe container*) and

I haven't had a chance to look at the list very carefully for the past few weeks, so I apologize in advance if I'm asking a question that has recently been discussed. I seem to recall there has been some discussion about a similar situation to the one I am in. My situation is that I am having an issue with READ ONLY files -- and seeing very different behavior with Samba 3.0.20b

I have been googling this for hours and cannot find anything really applicable to my situation. I am running Fedora 14 x86_64. I don't have a network printer. As far as I am aware fc-cache-32 doesn't exist on Fedora. I am trying to get some other program to

Hey, I have just installed civilization IV and it's expansions in wine. After doing the required workarounds to make it run correctly it seems to work quite well.

Basically, I'd like to have just one .wine dir on my file system that multiple users on LINUX can share thus allowing me to keep a single install of my windows apps. The default is to install to /home/CURRENT_USER/.wine so I'm wondering, as long as the LINUX users are in the same group, can I relocate the .wine dir to say, /home/share/.wine and update the wineconfig?

I would like to have wine's user directories in '/home/wine' but when I try to set the command ?wine WINEPREFIX=/home/wine ... it fails. I've tried it with other variations too but to no success.
