Hello all:
How could I create a fake cd-rom drive in wine so that windows
programs would accept it as a cd drive?
I googled around but could not find any example only some
obscure info that it's doable.
TIA,

I assume that you want to mount a .iso image. Any other image can be
converted to .iso.
1) (as root) mount the iso image to a temporary mountpoint
> mount -o loop /home/joe/cd.iso /mnt/temp
2) set up wine to use this as a drive

Click on Drives, Add...
Set path to /mnt/temp (or other mountpoint)
Click on Show Advanced
Set Type to CD-ROM
there! wine will now map your mountpoint (or any directory) to a CD
drive. I havn't actually tried it, and I highly doubt that it's going to
work with modern copy protections, but there you are.
