Hello all, I keep iso images of my most commonly used cdroms on the harddisk so I don't have to find them. Can I set up a cdrom drive in my wine config that points to the isos, and have wine think its a cdrom drive ? Thanks, Andy

Something like losetup /dev/loop0 <iso.file> Maybe You'll have to modprobe the loop module first. Then, You can mount this device to some mount point. mount -tiso9660 /dev/loop0 <mountpoint> Then You have to tell wine about the pseudo-CDROM by means of its config file. With regards, Pavel Troller

mount <iso path> </directory/where/you/want/to/mount/it> -o loop and then set this path as a wine drive --- Andy Rayner <rayner@centurytel.net> a ?crit?: > Hello all,> I keep iso images of my most commonly used cdroms on > the harddisk so I > don't have to find them.
