Hi
I want to install windows games in linux. i have managed to install wine on my pc but i don't know how to use it i want to install the game in a different partition. is there any way to install the game in a different partition i cannot install in the home directory since there is not enough space in there.

You can create any directory on the new partition and make a symbolic link to it. For example if you have mounted another partition as "/home/wine", just move ".wine" contents from your home directory, delete empty ".wine" directory and create symlink by:
Code:
ln -s /home/wine ~/.wine
