can I save space by using symbolic links?

Post by redss »

When I first invoke wine on ubuntu 10.04, it creates a windows installation by copying files from /usr/lib/wine/fakedlls to $WINEPREFIX

This takes up a lot of memory in my live usb system that lacks a hard drive.

Can I replace those files under $WINEPREFIX with symbolic links?

Yep.
Picasa did something very similar.
