So to install WoW on my computer I installed Wine, and copied the contents of the CDs to my computer. When I go to execute Install.exe a box pops up, from Wine Im sure, that says "Sorry, we tried to execute the install but it looks like your hard drive is full" or something to that extent. I have 160GB of memory, there is no way it is full, the only thing I put on the computer after wiping was Fedora11 and CDs from WoW. I tried changing the TEMP & TMP folders in Wine to \ because it worked for someone else, but not me. I'm newish to Linux, but eager to learn. Getting past this would be great, and thanks for the help in advanced. If I left anything out please mention it. :)

Be sure when you start the install that you do not double click on the Install.exe, but right click and choose 'wine program loader' to run it with. If that is not the problem - On my system (Fedora 11, Wine version 1.1.32) I did not copy the contents of the WoW disks to the computer and then install from those copies. I have just put the disk in the drive and installed from disk and I have installed as a download from my account at the blizzard website, both ways have worked fine. My C drive in Wine is only 56.6GB in size with WoW, both it's expansions and test server, COH/V, SWG, EVE, and ventrillo installed so yes, your 160 GB should be enough room. It would take more time but unless someone else has another suggestion, I would say delete the WoW files you have and trying an install from disk or web and see if that cleans it up.
