Title: Wine & Windows Dualboot
Post by: dlalias2k1 on 2013/10/18, 08:20:41
So I'm not sure this is the right forum for this, or if there is even a forum for this.

I love my Siduction, but I still love gaming. I'm not opposed to trying to get games to work under wine(playonlinux) first, but if they don't I suppose I'll have to dualboot.

My question is this:
What suggestions if any would you have for running wine/windows programs in a way to take up as little disk space as possible.

For instance,  If I play League of Legends on wine, but the have to boot win for say Walking Dead and then wanted to switch to LoL in windows, it would mean Lol was installed on my linux partition under wine and also on my ntfs partition for windows.

So I'm looking for partition tricks (Example: Mounting ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 as /mnt/Winedrive with a symlink at /home/user/.wine) or some sort of multiplatform symlinking or something.

Anyone know of anything like this?

Unless things have changed and I admit, I, have not tried what you want to do in a very long time,wine was not designed to run arbitrary applications directly from a windows partition. To do so, one must install the windows application via wine onto the windows partition first.

Perhaps a better channel to ask this question
