umount cd in use
hi
i have a pretty newbie question that i just stumbled across. i'm installing a 3-CD program, in which inthe middle, it asks me to use cd2, then cd3. but the thing is to install, i have to mount /cdrom, run the install file, and so in order to insert cd2, i have to umount cd1, but i can't because it's in use, and i dont' want to stop the installation process. now my question is, is there anyway to get around this? thanks |
Have you tried: sudo eject /cdrom
If you don't use sudo do: su eject /cdrom |
Also make sure you're not in the /cdrom directory when you're trying to unmount it. The system can get kind of crabby when you try to unmount your current directory :D

ahh, i'll try it when the chance comes, in real life, there was a time issue, i just put everything in one place and then installed from there. but thanks
