Hi there! I'm a very confident wine user and totally pleasured except this issue: When trying to install a program requiring more then one cd (in this case Soldier of Fortune 2) the installer asks me to change the cd, but as linux requires to unmount cds before they can be ejected and unmounting is not possible even by -forcing it because of the program on the cd being in use. Is there any possibility to fix this (e.g. a workaround)? Thank you! see you, Chris

I believe all you need to do is make sure you don't execute the install program from where the cdrom is mounted. For example, if you've mounted the cdrom on /cdrom, and the file is install.exe, do "wine /cdrom/./install.exe" from any location _but_ the /cdrom tree. Doing it this way, you should be able to unmount /cdrom, insert the other cdrom, mount it, and continue the install. works great for me that way. hope this helps :) Nikolaj Raahauge | ncraa.dk>I'm a very confident wine user and totally pleasured except this issue: >When trying to install a program requiring more then one cd (in this >case Soldier of Fortune 2) the installer asks me to change the cd, but >as linux requires to unmount cds before they can be ejected and >unmounting is not possible even by -forcing it because of the program on >the cd being in use. >Is there any possibility to fix this (e.g. a workaround)? >Thank you! > >see you, >Chris > >_______________________________________________ >wine-users mailing list >wine-users@winehq.com >winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users

The CD's are auto mounted and umounted , when inserted and ejected. I have that on my mandrake box, and it work perfectly .... See you Rico
