I have an external HD and was wondering if it was possible to install wine to run on it instead of my internal drive. secondly i was wondering if it was possible to control the size of the .wine directory or if i could find out how it is determined. You can't really control where Wine itself is installed (unless you compile it yourself). However ~/.wine directory is Wine's "configuration". Wine is not installed there. If you want to move that whole directory out to external harddrive (which CAN NOT be ntfs or fat-32) you have to use WINEPREFIX environment variable. And set it to what you want "~/.wine" be. For example: Code: export WINEPREFIX=/media/external_drive/wine
