where does WINE install?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
ok, similar questions have been asked, but my specific one is a little different, I think.
when I go to install WINE in Ubuntu, where does it put all WINE's files? I'd like to use a Symbolic Link to redirect the install onto another disk, but I can't run the WINE installer first, because the disk it wants to install to is too small. I can't replace or upgrade this drive. if it installs to a directory like, say, /wine-files/ for example, then I'd like to create this folder first in a external drive, then create a symbolic link to it, so it'll redirect where it's downloading to, hopefully.

Ubuntu programs don't install like Windows programs into one folder. Some go to lib, some go to bin, etc. As for Windows programs installed in wine, they will be in a sub folder of your home folder.
