More Space For WineX Games -- 12:21 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

If you use Transgaming's WineX to play Windows games in Linux, you need to install the games in your /home directory. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough space to install Diablo II and have room for much of anything else. Following a tip on Transgaming's site, I did the following:

As root, I issued these two commands (replace "username" with your user name):

mkdir /games
chown username: /games

Then, in my regular user account, I issued these commands per the instructions at the above link:

mv ~/.transgaming /games
rm ~/TransGaming_Drive
ln -s /games/.transgaming ~
ln -s /games/.transgaming/c_drive ~/TransGaming_Drive

Now I can use the space in my / partition instead of eating up all of my /home space. I now have both Jedi Outcast and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction installed. Both games work great. We'll see what else we can get to work :)
