Wine by default installs apps to the user's home directory, which should be a native Linux filesystem (usually ext3, but there are others). If you are having problems installing because the partition is ntfs, that means you either changed Wine's default drive_c to point to a different partition, or you somehow installed Linux to an ntfs partition (which I'm not sure is even possible, but it's the only other thing I can think of). > > > I'm running the default version of linux on the aspire one, the Linpus distro. so i had nothing to do with installing that > > > > Paste the output of 'mount -v' and 'cat /proc/mounts' to verify the > > partition filesystems....

It's "cat /proc/mounts" note the space after "cat".
