Hey,

I handled an iso-image as if it is was a cdrom. I did it with
mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/somewhere. So it's mounted as a cdrom. When I want to run an installation from the "cdrom", it asks for the cdrom. I was told it points to /dev/cdrom and i must create a symlink. Or something like that. Lots of fun, but how exactly can that be arranged? Cause I tried some linking, but it didnt help...

Thanks in advance

Wouldn't '/mnt/somewhere' be the mountpoint where you access the cdrom?
