pol-tester	Installing playonlinux on my Ubuntu box creates a symbolic link in my home directory: % ls -l Play* lrwxrwxrwx 1 twilson twilson 39 Aug  8 12:30 PlayOnLinux's virtual drives -> /home/twilson/.PlayOnLinux//wineprefix/ Is it safe to rename this to something less obnoxious, like POL?  I couldn't find a configuration option to change this long name to something else. Is it necessary even to have this link in my top-level directory at all?  I try to keep my top-level directory as uncluttered as possible, and it would be good to remove it altogether, if possible (especially given the existence of ~/.PlayOnLinux). Thanks!

petch	You can do whatever you want with this symlink, it's only there for convenience, and is not used by PoL itself... My scripts wiki: https://github.com/petchema/playonlinux/wiki GOGmix: https://www.gog.com/en/mix/playonlinux_install_scripts
