Sure, you can do that. It's really easy to do. The trick is to create a new "Wine prefix". The Wine prefix is where Wine maintains a virtual Windows installation. If you create a Wine prefix on your portable hard disk, you can install Windows programs to it. To do this, you set the WINEPREFIX environment variable when starting Wine, like so: env WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wine/prefix wine program.exe Note that, if you install a program to a different Wine prefix, Wine will ensure that any launchers the program creates point to that Wine prefix (by setting that environment variable). > > the reason i'm asking is since i have a eeepc 700-model (i think, or was it 701? anyway..) and i just recently got eeebuntu & wine installed on it along with spotify thanks to wine! :D > but eeepc's aren't famous for their space, thats why i'm asking. > all help is appreciated! No problem! Chip
