I'm using tmpfs (same logic - a directory in RAM). But I don't know how to throw everything that wine uses (and wine itself) into that directory...

I guess this should have been the question of my first post, but I'm bad at asking clear questions :)))

so, the clear question qould be, now, "I have created a tmpfs directory in my home directory. how do I throw wine and all its libraries and everything into that directory so that all wine uses is the files in that directory?"

sorry about that.
