How can I mount the CD (or DVD) DRIVE to a static location in the file system (ubuntu 11.04)
I am having a real issue with trying to do multi CD installs through WINE on Ubuntu 11.04. The real issue appears to be that every time a CD is auto mounted it appears as a different disk. When the installer prompts for the next disk it does not recognize it (different actual disk means different path in file system).
In an attempt to solve this I want to be able to create a mount point to the hardware for the CD drive. If I can do this then any disk in the drive should be accessible from the same mount point. The final step of this procedure would be to run wine config and setup a D: drive pointing to that mount point.
Eagerly awaiting a response!

I checked out the link. I am pretty new to Linux... I will try to see if I can implement what the link shows. I will let you know.
I would like to understand the process more. I looked at the files under /dev and found an sr0 entry. Can I find out what sr0 refers to? That way I would be sure I am using the right entry. I also found a different type of entry "scd0".
I assume the /dev directory is where devices are mounted / registered? Can you give me any links to help understand this portion better? I am asking so this question will be of more value to others down the road.
