Yes. This topic has been covered multiple times by now I believe so I will now quote Ken Thomases
Ken's instructions to create a UNIX level "alias" that will basically point to your bottles on an external... I've tried it. Works great.
"It requires a small amount of work at the command line in
Terminal. Here's what you can do:
ln -s /Volumes/MyExternalDrive/Some/Folders/CrossOver /Users/
YourUserName/Library/Application\ Support/
Of course, you will have different stuff instead of
"MyExternalDrive", "Some/Folders", and "YourUserName".
If you now run CrossOver, it will create its support files, including
bottles, in the folder on your external drive.
We are looking into the possibility of letting you specify the
location of bottles as a preference setting in CrossOver. The
current behavior follows Apple's guidelines, but we have received
requests similar to yours. In the meantime, using symbolic links
should let you accomplish what you want."
if this is still confusing I can try to explain it more thoroughly...
hope this helps
