wine users - Oct 2008 - Insufficient Free HD Space

I recently bought some classic games from GoodOldGames.com (specifically Fallout
1 and 2), and they worked perfectly on my WIndows machine, but on my Linux box
they install fine but fail to run.  When I try to fire up the game it gives me
an error saying I need 20megs of free HD space - and given that I have 480 gigs
of storage, thats not an issue.  Do I need to allocate Wine some extra space
somehow?

PS - Give GOG a whirl if you love PC games circa 1996-2000 - no DRM, lots of
goodies, can't recommend it enough.

Might be an overflow...What directory are you installing to? How much
free space is on that device? Can you try a different file system (a
flash drive maybe)?.
