Hi, I want to run classic games like Age Of Empires through wine without a CD on my netbook. Is there any hope? Am I right in my researching, there is no tool like daemon on linux (mount such that games are happy)? Sorry for being stupid, thanks

Unknowing or ignorant might be closer to what you are now. Also, please ignore Victor's e-mail. He just wanted to get off of the mailing list. James McKenzie
Victor: You have a problem here. Someone has grabbed your account and subscribed it to the Wine Mailing list. You have to contact Google to get this fixed.

Thanks for a very concise and well worded answer James, "You must have access to the original CD and a method of transferring ISO images to your netbook. " Brilliant! I have these things. Unfortunately, I am ignorant. I have looked (line by line) on both http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ and http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/index, to no avail. Where may I find the "FAQ on how to run programs without a CD"? Thanks again.
