Now I am trying to make sure everything is on my "old partition" I created a link "old_part" Running wine Setup.exe on the command line solved it. However, now I am trying to utilize my old partition and maybe this is more a linux question than a wine question, but I am hoping you can field it.. I reinstalled Ubuntu on the disk I am running, so the old Ubuntu ended up on a different partition - this partition resides on /dev/sda1 while the booted partition is on /dev/sda6. > > root@kayve-laptop:/media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca/home/kayve# df -h > Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on > /dev/sda6 124G 98G 20G 84% / > none 1.9G 300K 1.9G 1% /dev > none 1.9G 1004K 1.9G 1% /dev/shm > none 1.9G 220K 1.9G 1% /var/run > none 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /var/lock > /dev/sr0 239M 239M 0 100% /media/CB80 > /dev/sda1 319G 219G 84G 73% /media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca > root@kayve-laptop:/media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca/home/kayve# mount > /dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,commit=0) > proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) > none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) > fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) > none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) > none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) > none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755) > none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620) > none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) > none on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) > none on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) > binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) > gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/kayve/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kayve) > /dev/sr0 on /media/CB80 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500) > /dev/sda1 on /media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) > root@kayve-laptop:/media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca/home/kayve# > > [/qoute] > > oh I just realized outside the partition I need a hard link? > > > > > > root@kayve-laptop:/media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca/home/kayve# ln -L /media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca/home/kayve/.wine /home/kayve/.wine/old_part > > ln: `/media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca/home/kayve/.wine': hard link not allowed for directory > > root@kayve-laptop:/media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca/home/kayve# > > > > > > > > oh darn.
