How to install games with multiple CD installers??

Hi, I'm trying to install Enter the Matrix on Fedora Core 3, but when I'm prompted to insert the second cd it just won't eject. I tried unmounting it as root and it was impossible unless I exit the installation. Does anyone know how to install games with multiple cd installers?? Is it possible with udev ?? If it's so, how to do it??
Thanks.

Yes it is possible. You have to run the install executable from OUTSIDE the /mnt/cdrom directory. You see, if you first go into the cdrom directory:

# cd /mnt/cdrom/

And then run the installer:

# ./installer

Then it wont eject because you are in the /mnt/cdrom folder and UNIX thinks that "it is being used". So, the way to do it is to just run it OUTSIDE the cdrom directory, like so:

# cd
# /mnt/cdrom/installer

Then you wont have any problems. Enjoy!
