Linux CD-Rom Question

[pac1085]

Ok, heres what I;m doing...
I'm attempting to install Diablo II using wine, everything seems to be working so far, but during the Setup program, it needs you to swap CDs, but its not letting me unmount/eject my Cd-rom because it says its in use. I need to be able to swap the CDs for the installation to work...anyone have any ideas, or know a way around this? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Sorry, I'm not sure about your problem. But, if you have two machines you can LAN the directory over (if that is an option). But to your original question, I do not have an answer. Sorry. I do however have a question...

You're using DII on Linux???? HOW???? God that would rule...no more winblows....How do you do that??

Yea...I'm not even sure if it will work, but I'm willing to bet that it would...Im using wine, a windows emulator...D2 is just about the only thing I use windows for, so thats why im trying to figure this out 🙂

Go to winehq.com and look in their knowledge base. Or go join the IRC channel. Or email the developers. (Last resort) A lot of people have tried to use Diablo and derivatives in Wine (I haven't, I don't like Diablo all that much) so someone should have an answer to your question.

As an attempt, since you are just trying this at this point, try issuing the following command as root from a different xterm.

umount -f /mnt/cdrom (if your cdrom mount point is different, then correct it)

This will force the unmounting of the cdrom, now whether diablo/Wine will see the cdrom change or not, I cannot say, but it is worth a try... 🙂
