Changing CDs while installing software through Wine

PrawnJuice · 01-26-2006, 03:39 AM

Hey all.

I'm trying to install Half~Life 2 and such through Wine, but when it asks me to change CDs, I can't seem to do it; the installer runs in fullscreen and ALT-Tabbing won't work, so I have no way to unmount the CD drive so I can change the disc.

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux Sarge (3.1).

Thanks for your time.

i cant image you wont be allowed to

ALT+CTRL+F1

Login as root

umount /dev/cdrom0
eject /dev/cdrom0

depending on how debian works you may need /dev/cdrom1 or /dev/hdb or /mnt/cdrom
