Definitely not what I asked, I already have w10 installed just fine from an ISO -- but now trying to install other software from a DVD (wait, what year is this??)
But seriously, I want to forward the optical drive to windows, I should be able to do that..


Hi Konstantin,

So, again not what you asked, but that does not stop me!
What me goes off on a tangent????  NEVER!  Well, maybe.

If you or the guys don't figure this out, here is a
work around.

Make an iso of your DVD/CD and mount it as
a CD-ROM in virt-mamager:

# dd if=/dev/sr0  of=[path]/[name].iso


Speaking of software from 1865, I still use the abandoned
Lotus Approach and Lotus WordPro.  Both run better
under Wine than does Libre Office, especially
envelope printing and tables.

So, I made an ISO out of my CD and have it copied
several places for safe keeping.  If I need it, I
can mount the ISO as a CD-ROM in virt-manager.

HTH,
-T
