* First, make sure that looback is compiled in your kernel or a module:
Device Drivers --->
Block devices --->
<M> Loopback device support
If you compile the module, the module name is loop.
* Second, copy CDs to ISO files:
# cat /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 > icewind_dale1.iso
# eject
# cat /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 > icewind_dale2.iso
# eject
Note We do not need to mount CDs. We are not copying the contents of the filesystems, we are copying the filesystems themselves.
* Then, as root, mount the first ISO file.
$ mount -o loop /home/steve/icewind_dale1.iso /mnt/cdrom
* Run the winex3 installer as your user. Be sure to close all Windows applications before installing anything.
# cd /mnt/cdrom
