hello everyone. I tried installing The witcher on fedora 10 using wine. The problem is my primary partition has 600 mb less free space than needed((is there anyway to install the game directly into other partition? When i get to choose where to install it i only can access other partitions through /media/disk1/... so it still thinks I'm installing on this primary partition. My Primary partition with fedora on it is /dev/sda2 ext3 , and I also have created /dev/sda4 ext2 as an extended partition for games))now its currently empty))so Is there a way to directly install on sda4?))Thanks a lot) P.s. Btw I'm a newbie in all this stuff just googling almost every second step so please don't get anry at me ;P

This new 'hard drive' will show up as the letter number you assigned when you try to install some thing.
well the thing is I tried that, in winecfg I have C;D;E;and Z C and Z are normal ones. Both D and E came with auto detect, but installer still doesn't see them(((

How is it mounted, i.e. via fstab at boot time or some other way? Showing us the output from 'df' would be helpful too. Martin
Here is the output from df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 15717696 6997424 7921844 47% / tmpfs 1556504 1632 1554872 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda4 57234140 989912 53336868 2% /media/disk /dev/sda5 71931004 65878464 6052540 92% /media/disk-1 /dev/sda1 10241404 7630140 2611264 75% /media/disk-2 As I said I set my games partition on sda4, while sda2 is the one with fedora on it. Well it is mounted to sda2 as i believe, i mean i have to enter root password when opening it through dolphin
[/quote]Since you have a separate games partition, why don't you: - make sure it mounts at boot time as, say /games - create a 'games' user with its login directory set to /games - login as this user whenever you want to install or play a game. Martin[/quote] Thanks, but it's easier for me just to login as root instead then))) Thanks anyway)))
