Hello wine team / users.

I have a quick question I haven't been able to find an answer to yet.

My current linux hdd is close to being full, and I would like to know how I could install software through wine to another physical disk I have in my system.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for all the great work on the wine project, I no longer have a need to install windows again!

Basically you can do it as you would do in windows. Select the additional drive and install it there.

What might happen is that you don't have a drive letter mapped to your hard disk yet. To do this, open winecfg and go to the appropriate tab where you can choose them. (Over here it is called "Unidades", I guess it should be something as drivers or units in english).

Then you can install things in those drives. Oh, and keep in mind that the C:\ drive is usually located in /.wine/drive_c and that the Z:\ drive is usually /

It's easier to just use a separate WINEPREFIX on that drive...
