cant emerge DVD version ut2004 (FIXED)

gtr-xu1

Hi
This is my first post on the Gentoo forums so Hi All
I am having trouble emerging ut2004 DVD edition. After the licence stuff it asks to enter cd1 in the drive (doesnt pick up the dvd version) - Do I have to mount the disc to a certain directory prior to emerge ut2004 ? The dvd edition has a dir for each CD.
Or am I able to copy it to a certain dir so portage can pick it up and do a hdd install.

I dont usually play games in Linux but I need this to work as I am going to a smallish LAN tonite and would love to prove to a few One-Eyed-Windows-users that Linux isnt just for Geeks with to much time on their hands.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Fixed it - Borrowd CD version from neighbor and used my Key - Excellent

Yeah... there's actually a bug where if it doesn't detect the DVD at first, it falls back to CD-based copying.

Anyway, it would have been fine if you mounted your DVD before running emerge. Also, it should detect it no matter where it is mounted, so that's not a big deal.

I mounted the dvd with

mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/dvd

then

emerge ut2004

and everything started just fine. But then the install finished with the

Copying files from Disk 3...

and then it asks for cd 4 I can find it in another terminal so the files are there but it cant find them.

[Edit] - As the author has labeled this one fixed I started a new thread

Any clues?
