RE: gEDA-user: Re: CD driver permissions so GEDA can install

[Stuart Brorson <sdb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

One thing you can do is create a directory under /media called "cdrom"
(that is, create /media/cdrom), and then manually mount the CD there.
Then run the installer.

This issue has to do with the way Linux/Fedora is handling mounting of
CD ROM devices. You may want to Google around and read some tutorials
about how this should work.  It's not a gEDA issue.  We can try to
help, but it's clear that you need to sort out this Linux issue and
get the CD mounted before you can use it.

Here's a third way to use the .iso image:

If you have the .iso file somewhere on disk, just mount it
directly, and use it exactly like it was a disk.  The mount command
looks something like this:

mount -o loop -o exec /path/to/installer.iso /media/cdrom
/media/cdrom/installer --log

You may want to spend some time reading the man page for the mount
command.

Good luck!
