Is it possible to run Wine from a directory other than the user home directory?
 

I have discovered that I can run shooter games in Wine 2.0. The disk that houses my home directory is getting a little tight. I have a larger disk installed without much on it. Can I install/run Wine on that disk or does it have to run from the home directory?

Thanks.

This may still work. http://askubuntu.com/questions/57688...rent-directory

^ that was my first thought, too, but the accepted answer is a little confusing i think.

johnnyreb:
be sure wine is not running.
create a directory (let's say we call it 'wine') on that larger hd.
copy all the contents of ~/.wine into that directory.
create a symbolic link:
=> instant gratification!
(however, you should now make sure the hd is mounted before starting wine)
