I typed into terminal

wine /media/cdrom0/Installer.exe

then it brings up the installer menu. i click install world of warcraft and instant freeze while pressing button.

What did i do wrong?

Ok I got it installing but now i'm stuck on changing cd's to install. CD2 is in and i clicked ok to the 'insert cd2 screen' and it keeps coming back.

presumably you'll have to mount the second cd...

Some distros use dynamic mount points based on the cd which is a pain

how did you get it to start installing?

When I installed it on FC5 I had to create a folder in my home directory and then copy all the contents of the cds there. I used it as the buffer and it installed right away and quickly since i didn't need to switch cds out. Is there a way you could try that?

I sorted it out in the end - there are 2 dlls required, but I didn't read that I had to use the DLL override - once I had done that it worked fine!
