wine users - Apr 2008 - mounting a cd

hello, i have a worms armageddon cd iso (made with k3b), now i want to mount
that for wine, because i cant play a fast game when i allways have to change my
cd. (there r no copyprotection problems).

what i have tried:
simply mount the cd to /media/WA then i settet in winecfg this folder to be my
cd. failled

and i tried doing like this:

ln -s wa.iso ~/.wine/dosdevices/d:: but the result in dosdevices folder is not a
cd only a file called d:: .

any ideas?

When using ln -s, you must use the full path to your ISO file. You
must also be using the drive letter you have set in winecfg, which
should be set to CD-ROM (I'm not sure if autodetect works).

oh i got it now, in dosdevices i see a folder d: and that stranghe file d::
which crahes my konqueror when i click on it. the d:: file seems to be the cd
for wine now.

but wa crashes now when i want to start a game (online or offline, just before
the atomic sign appears),
this is a moment when wa reads from the cd.

error message:
fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open
fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x12a468)->((nil),00000008)

oh i got it!
the trick was to make d: beeing /media/WA (the mount point of my iso) and then
having a symlink from the iso to d::  .

bit stranghe but works :P

thx says looki
