Wine won't give me CD 1 back!!

lol, sorry bout the slow reply, i'll use some code to clarify.

Code:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd1.iso
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd2.iso
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd3.iso

ok, here you have created 3 CD isos of the three DIFFERENT CDs (if RTCW only has two, only create isos of the two CDs). now do

Code:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop cd1.iso /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom
wine setup.exe       ##or the equivalent of the setup file

ok, when you get asked to insert the second CD just do

Code:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop cd2.iso /mnt/cdrom

and just continue the installation. if prompted for CD1 again, first try

Code:

umount /dev/cdrom

if that doesn't work just repeat the mounting of cd1.iso

one last thing: if you want, i think it's safe to insert the first CD and use that, but after that, everything else MUST be iso files. hope that helps. good luck

well, i had the same problem when i tried to install call of duty with wine. the cd drive just wouldnt open and i couldnt put cd2 in.

the soluttion was:

when the installer asks for cd2, open a seperate terminal window and type

Code:

wine eject x:

replace x: with the drive you have assigned in winecfg

the cd tray will eject, place the second cd in the drive and the type

Code:

mount /mnt/cdrom

replace cdrom with the drive you are using.

now just click ok in the installer window and it should continue the instalation

Well, I tried easuter's method, when I type "wine eject E:" it says "cannot find eject". The only way I can eject it is to say "eject /media/dvd" and if I do that it won't read disc 2 at all. I havn't tried the iso file thing, I'll try to get to that next weekend, I'm gonna be outta town this week
