Multi CD install.......

[OldGaf]

OK, I have read many threads by people trying to install programs from more then one CD and no one seems to have a fix.

I am trying to install COD with wine. When I need to put the 2nd CD in I am unable to eject the 1st one. The only process that is using the CD is the install program. I am not in the CD dir when I call the setup exe so it is not the shell that is using it. I am unable to force the eject from the shell.

So...... is it NOT possible to install an application in Kubuntu that has more then one CD? if so, then I would have to say that this OS is pretty useless!

This has been posted as a solution in cedega threads, I'm sure it's relevant here:


killall -USR2 wineserver


also try adding

--monitor-cdrom-eject

when you run the installer from the commandline.

Code:

killall -USR2 wineserver


also try adding
Code:

--monitor-cdrom-eject



Nope.... that didn't work. It just takes out the install program...... sigh..... I was SO close to going with linux too. Maybe I should try another Distro.....

When you start installing you have to be in another directory than your cdrom. eg. wine /media/dvd/COD .
If you start installing when in the cdrom directory you will be unable to unmount or eject if the installer asks for another cd.
