Hello! For the past couple of days I have been trying to install AOE3 on My Debian Etch Machine. When no actual setup process is required or "installation defacto " Wine functions flawlessly. Here's the deal: The process commences perfectly. The "installShield" Loads nicely, with no trouble. But When I am asked to insert the second CD(I had purchased a 3-Disk bundle), I get an error from Debian Claiming the drive is in use(reasonable isn't it?), and subsequently I can't remove the disk, at least until I close the Installation procedure. Now, I've tried, whilst the setup had been asking for the next disk, to unmount the drive via: " Code: umount -l /dev/hdc " That does work.(I am able to eject). But after the insertion of the second CD, I see that it's "mount-point" is blank! No matter how hard I attempt, regardless of the path I endeavored to take; No path I ventured to use worked! What should I do? Thank you, Thanks Again, Daniel

One post I read said to mount and unmount the CDs as root making sure your fstab allows root to mount and users to read. Maybe give that a try? Good luck and let us know what works! Cheers, Mark

Hi, I'd like to start by thanking you for your quick responses. I was finally able to resolve the problem by copying the CDs to my HD. And it worked! However, now a new problem cropped-up. After launching the game, with the "splash-screen" showing, my screen turns black for a few seconds, then it is resized, then it returns to the desktop, with an error saying: "Age of Empires III has encountered an error and needs to be closed..." And so on and so fourth. What should I do next? Thank you so much again, Thank you, Daniel
