I've heard that Total Annihilation (a fantastic game) runs in wine,
(frankscorner.org and som other people on various malinglists). I've
applied the 3.1 patch (ta1x-31c.exe) and tried to run the game under
wine-20050628 in Fedora Core 4 with 2.6.11 kernel, it starts and I press
"single", no problem, but when I try to press "new campagne"
or
"skirmish" I get asked to enter the apropriate cd, so I enter them and
see as they automaticly mounts (as konqueror pops up with the contents
of /media/cdrom). but I still get asked to enter the the
CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've tried to use a noCD-patch then I got a step
further, into the "new campagne"/"skirmish" menus, but the
choose
map/mission boxes are empty! I have OEM versiones of the game, don't
tell me that I have to have real CDs (which are probably impossible to
find in Norway now a days!). frankscorner.org has tested the game in
wine-20020605, but I didn't find the sources for it to see if it worked
properly in it. the archive in sf.net doesn't streach that far back in
time.
I've tried to search the mailinglist archives and google but I didn't
find enything, so if someone har posted somthing like this before, SORRY!

PS, I'm Norwegian so please excuse my spelling.

I hope someone can help me, and thankyou in advance to enyone who helps.
