title: trick to "change" CD for wine

---

I've had a pretty hard time to install Baldur's Gate 2, even via
PlayOnLinux. The problem lies when you need to change CD-s: PlayOnLinux
do try to solve it for you, but it does not work.

But what works is multiple mounting. Awful and dangerous, but works:

``` {.bash}
sudo mount -o loop /path/to/ISO/CD1 /mnt
```

Start PlayOnLinux, select `mnt` as CD source... and step through the
offering to change CDs for you. When the game asks for the next CD, do
the following:

``` {.bash}
sudo mount -o loop /path/to/ISO/CD2 /mnt
```

This will not unmount CD1, but at the same point CD2 will be accessible.
Repeat this for CD3 and CD4. When the game asks for CD1:

``` {.bash}
sudo umount /dev/loop3
sudo umount /dev/loop2
sudo umount /dev/loop1
```

But don't remove `loop0`! That's CD1.

Done, play Baldur's Gate 2 on Linux.
