You should see something like this in winecfg: C: ../drive_c D: /var/media/cd0 Z: / 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.

It's a long long time ago that I've used wine, mostly for gaming-experiments. But I remember a kind of symlink strukture inside ~/.wine called dosdevices/ that included pointers to directories, e. g. the system's root directory and the user's home directory, and maybe mountopoints (or device files?) of removable media.

I don't know that you actually need to know that. I think you could probably just mount the disk, cd to it, and install or run it from the command line. Otherwise, no clue. The disc is due back at the library soon so I want to make the most of it ... even if it does crash every 355 minutes! You might also try dosbox if the game is DOS compatible. In the mid-nineties at lot of games were either pure DOS applications or had separate windows/dos binaries on the disk, 1998 is a bit late for this though. The disc is due back at the library soon I doubt anyone would care if you copied it at this stage. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
