Baldur's Gate Wants to Install to Boot Partition!
I'm trying to install Baldur's Gate 1, but for some reason the installer keeps trying to install to my computer's boot partition, which only has 420 megabytes of space (according to the installer, at least.) Does anyone know how to remedy this problem?

Re: Baldur's Gate Wants to Install to Boot Partition!
I didn't know BG1 had a linux version. Is this one of those Loki ports from awhile back?

No, there isn't a Linux version. At least not to my knowledge. I'm installing it through Wine.

Have you already configured wine drives?
If not, you can by executing wine config utility:
$ winecfg

Re: Baldur's Gate Wants to Install to Boot Partition!
It's been configured for a while, and I double checked to see if it was correctly configured. Is it because my boot partition is listed first in /etc/fstab?

Well that doesn't makes sense because wine doesn't checks for the fstab order.

PD: Are you installing as root?

No, I'm not. Am I supposed to?

Re: Baldur's Gate Wants to Install to Boot Partition!
There is a bug in the BG1 installer that sees hard drives bigger than ?GB as ?00MB. You're probably installing just fine to C:\ (aka ~/.wine/drive_c). The bug has no significance.
