I'm trying to install World of Warcraft on Ubuntu 6.06. I have followed the instructions on AppDB to build the patched version of Wine 0.9.18, and am now trying to install it. I am trying to install from iso files on my hard drive, not CDs. I have created a directory /media/fakecd, and I do "sudo mount -o loop disc1.iso /media/fakecd". I also used winecfg to add e: to the device list, putting "/media/fakecd" as the location and selecting "CD-ROM" as the type. I then do 'wine "e:/Installer.exe"' and the installer runs and I can begin installation. The problem is when it needs the second disc. I do "sudo umount /media/fakecd" and then "sudo mount -o loop disc2.iso /media/fakecd" but then when I click on "ok" in the installer to continue the installation nothing happens. Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks, Colin

I think you would be successful using this method on an Ubuntu system too. (I had the same problem installing from CD, seems to be this way with many program when running wine.) /Andreas andreas.ronnquist@gmail.com
