CD autoplay issues

**Sean Gray** · 01-08-2005

I recently got an mp3 player and need to set up some programs for it on my computer (running Fedora Core). An installation CD came with the player. It says right on the CD that once the disc is inserted, the installation process should start up, but that isn't happening. The CD mounts and all, but it won't install. I clciked the CD icon on the desktop to try to do it manually, but there's a lot of stuff in there, and I wouldn't know where to start. Is there any way to get the installation process running? If not, is there any other way I can get this stuff on my computer?

Thanks.

open up a terminal as root, or if you are not root do:

Code:

su -

then, post the output of:

Code:

cd /mnt/cdrom
ls

You are aware, are you not, that software written for Windows won't install or run on Linux? Not natively, anyway.
There are very few(so few that I can't think of any) hardware vendors who ship Linux software with their hardware.

i decicded to ignore that, in hopes that maybe it was linux. hehe

Yeah, I think it's written for windows. I was hoping against hope there was some way around it.

yeah.
install wine

**Sean Gray** · 01-08-2005

Alright, I downloaded and installed the Wine RPM. Where is it on my computer now?

**lakerdonald** · 01-08-2005

just run:

Code:

wine programname

although it's rarely that simple.
try:

Code:

man wine

when I do "man wine" a bunch of info comes up on the wine program. What am I looking for?

**lakerdonald** · 01-08-2005

i'm just saying that man wine is a good reference
