Installing games in wine with more than one cd??? [SOLVED]
HI.
I am having some trouble with wine. Spesificly I am trying to install Star Craft Broodwars, witch requires two install cd's. Wine recodnises one cd just fine, but when I eject the first cd in the middle of the install process, and mount cd nr.2, the wine installer doen not recodnise it and keeps asking for cd nr.2.
I have searched the wiki thouroughly for an answer to this issue, but thus far I have not found a solution. Please help, anyone?

Have you tried using the image of the CD? Not sure if some copy-protection mechanism won't get in your way or whether ripping is legal in your country.

Shure, i have dd the cd's to .iso images and mounted them manualy in /media/cd. the problem persists however, once i unmount cd1.iso and mount cd2.iso, wine does not recodnise the change.

Run winecfg and go to the 'Drives' tab. Create a new drive.

Done that. Have set up /media/cd and /media/cd1 in winecfg, first i tried to mount both iso's at the same time (cd1 in /media/cd and cd2 in /media/cd1), then i tried to mount the iso files in /media/cd one after the other. Both atempts faild to recodnise the switch, wine reads the first cd fine, but not the new cd when it is changed.
