winex cd problem


Hi. I have recently installed winex and now I have tried to install Diablo2 but I can't change cd when the installation asks for an other cd..
umount doesn't work "device busy.." and I'm not starting the installation from the cd-directory..

two options i can think of...
1-)
install DII without copying the 1st cd to the HD
-Open a xterm, su root, mount the first cd.
-in another xterm (user), in your home dir, "run wine /mnt/cdrom/Install/exe"
-When it claims for next cd, in the root term, umount cd, change cd, mount cd.

2-)
copy the first cd to a directory on the harddisk; delete the entry cdrom in /mnt; make symlink from the the dir of the createt dir to /mnt/cdrom; start install of diablo from /mnt/cdrom; when you are asked for the second cd delete the symlink and create a new cdrom dir in /mnt, mount the cd2 while diablo2 install is running; unmount when diablo2 install is asking for the next cd.

as you can see, my first option is easier....but if for some apparent reason you can't do it, then you'll have to rely on copying the 1st cd to your harddrive..

The problem was that "device busy" is stuck, when installing dII and it wants cd 2.. so I can't umount
