ISO as CDROM
ISO as CDROM
I have a laptop that has no CDROM, so I have to use an ISO. Anyway, I use to be able to mount the ISO at /media/cdrom and wine would recognize it as a cdrom. Now, when I try the same thing it doesn't recognize it as a cdrom. I have added /media/cdrom as a cdrom in winecfg, but still no luck. Can someone help me out, because this is the only thing preventing me from using my program (damn DRM).
Re: ISO as CDROM
What distro, what version of Wine, and how are you mounting the ISO?lvleph wrote:I have a laptop that has no CDROM, so I have to use an ISO.

Let me check, but I think that mounted devices are in that file. If theWell, the new Ubuntu doesn't place the cdrom in fstab, but since I don't have a cdrom it wouldn't be in fstab.

Thank you. How about the output of the mount command?FSTAB is for mount points that mount at startup.

The drive should be mounted ro, not rw. cdrom is not writable, cdrw is.Code:
mount
/dev/loop0 on /media/cdrom type iso9660 (rw)
This may be causing the problems with winecfg not being able to find and
retain the drive.

I was asking the questions because if you cannot read the drive, then
Wine cannot either.
Since you named the program, have you visited the Applications Database
entry for the program:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=1867
I did not find any 'hints/tricks' on how to install the program. I have
to make the assumption that it was from physical media and that the
installations were successful.

Thank you. I did not imply that you were a beginner. I've madeI do want to thank you for your help though, since I did realize that there was a better way to mount ISOs based on your questions.
