I have been told that the way to utilize the somewhat strange way my Ubuntu is set up is to use the WINEPREFIX. I have some windoze programs that need to know about each other so they need to be in the same drive_c Here are pertinent specifics of my system: > > root@kayve-laptop:/media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca/home/kayve# mount | grep ext4 > /dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,commit=0) > /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# 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 1.3M 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# > /dev/sda1 was the original Ubuntu system on the disk that I installed into my laptop http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/xorg_log/P1300126.vhtml all contained on the above disk also is /dev/sda6, as seen in the above df -h and also they are both ext4. Note that /dev/sda1 has more than twice the space and more than 4 times the amount of free space. Therefore, I was hoping to use WINEPREFIX to redirect my wine installation of my application constellation. However, I am feeling wary of the fact that when I created the soft link, attempting to chown the directory to my user has failed. http://kayve.net/old_part_root.png My original attempts too utilize wine failed and I am not sure how to explain this, well, I understand the security concerns of using wine under root. Is the solution just chmod 770 and create a group for the symbolic link? How can I force my applications to utilize the symbolic link with the proper permissions? Is there any problem here I should just set the WINEPREFIX variable and run wine setup.exe? Should I save my CD data under the drive_c directory?
