Title: wine: installing a windows app
Post by: P5music on June 09, 2010, 01:15:44 PM

hello,
I installed wine extension and it works (with wineasio.dll too).
I see that tinycore created a mydata.gz archive that contains wine drive_c.
Now I ask if I can install a windows application running its installer with wine. I am planning to install an application with huge sample library. I fear it will want to archive those every time in mydata like backup.
thanks in advance

The folders that are beeing backed up are the ones listed in '/opt/.filetool.lst'
If you remove 'home/tc' From the file, TC will not back it up.
Then it is a good idea to set a persistent homedir in your bootcodes: add 'home=hda1' Or wherever you have persistence..

Or merely make drive_c a symlink to some storage.

edit: The post didn't make sense before.

Thank you very much.
I want to have just tinycore and its libraries in memory (alsa+jack+wine).
I do not know if I could make all persistent and if boot time would be  affected (my goal is fastest boot).
Said that, I will call wine programs (kontakt4,reaper) and I want them to persistently store their preferences, sample libraries and projects. How to do that?
