Hi, and welcome to the forums.

Is the program wanting to mount it itself or do you have to mount it manually? Do you have to tell it where the CD is mounted perhaps?

Is it mounted at /mnt/cdrom? And is it the *real* disc one matching the installer you got (they've got game-of-the-year and normal).

If you have the "Totally Unreal" cds, then you're out of luck for installing it under linux. I have those cds and I kept getting the same error message as you, at least that was until I read the Loki FAQ and realized that that cd was unsupported.

If that's your problem, I recommend going to Walmart and getting UT GOTY for $9.99. Problem solved.

Which distro are you using? A buddy of mine was having problems installing UT2003; so I gave him a hand.

I don't know if the install script for the game is similar, but this works for UT2003.

su
password
export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom

This assumes you have a directory named /mnt/cdrom. Run the script afterwards in the same xterm.

tried all

I have tried the export, the mnt/cdrom and I still get the same request

 

[XWRed1]

Why don't you create /mnt/cdrom and mount your cd there?

I've tried almost all

I have the game of the year edition and have tried /mnt/cdrom also my cdrom automounts and I,ve checked in the konsole to make sure I thing that mandrake 9.0 just does something different.. I am going to load osx as well as Suse on my machine which already runs win doze98/me then Il'll try some more

 

[XWRed1]

How you going to install OSX? You mean Darwin?

supermount is the plague



Disable supermount by editing the /etc/fstab, and create your own entries.

example: (excerpt from /etc/fstab)
#none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

Please note the "#" symbol.

add the following line (assuming /dev/hdc is your cdrom)

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0

Save changes to /etc/fstab

I advise installing the game as root and running it later as a "normal" user.

su
password

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

Run the install script.
