I get the general idea, but since I have two optical drives, not
just one, things are a bit more complicated. In / I've got
/media/cdroms/0 and /media/cdroms/1; in /usr/home/kline is:
~/cdroms/0 and ~/cdroms/1 . For some reason winecfg didn't
understand this and I had to type in the /usr/home/kline/cdrom/0
by hand. It is listed as H: That's fine; but in an
xterm/Konsole messages kept getting printed to stderr so it looks
like winecfg isn't looking at my 1sr optical drine.
I've tried mount /media/cdroms/cd0 /mnt and other ploys. Zip.
IMO, anybody who has tried to do the ``impossible'' (wine)
deserves a gold medal ... but I can't make it work.
