I need to mount an ISO image of the language pack CD so I can get it into rosetta stone. The program itself appears to be installed but It cant seem to install the language pack from CD (yes I have the CD defined as d:\ in WineConfig.
What to do?

You can use a loop to mount the CD:
- open the terminal
- create a folder "CD" in your home: "mkdir CD"
- mount the image as root "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/image CD"

The type ofthe image should be detected automaticly, if not use the parameter "-t iso9660".

You can unmount the image with "sudo umount CD" and delete the CD folder if you prefer afterwards.

ok I created the CD image, mounted it and then directed Rosetta Stone to look there for the CD... did not see it... Uninstalling Rosetta Stone for now...
