you can create link with program ln:
$ ln -s orig_location destination
(this will create symbolic link from existing location to destination; -s means symbolic)

If you want to move stratagus to MyDocs, first move files and folders, then create symlink:
$ mv /opt/stratagus /home/user/MyDocs
$ ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/stratagus /opt/stratagus

Note: you must run these commands as root. And you may move it after installing (not before). Installation to MyDocs failed due to FAT permitions.
Few problems with that method;

1) the FAT partition does not allow characters like '?' in file names, so a few files could not be moved.
2) I used

Code:
ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/Starcraft/stargus /opt/stratagus/share/stargus
But it was still looking for the install files...

I love Starcraft but over 500MB in the home directory is A LOT, even if you have repartitioned your device. Since Campaigns don't work, would it be possible not to extract those? What about an option for music and no music?

This is much better than the original Staragus (0.1-4) for the N900, I would like to see it run smoothly and without taking up so much space in such a small partition.
