wine users - Jul 2002 - mount problems during install

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

Hi Christian !

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 :)

There is a way to work around this easily.
install the kernel automounter, and you can eject CD's without
unmounting them.
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
