NWN installer problem

ok, so i try to install nwn with the loader, but i run into a problem. When it starts to install it unmounts the cdrom and then asks me to insert disk 1, which is in. then I click retry and it mounts and unmouts it.... Any idea why this is happening?

I have the same problem.

I let the script run as root, tried to create the NWN-directory before (with full permissions) or let the script create it, but I get the same problem over and over again. It wants disk1, which I'm sure is in the CD-drive..

Unfortunately I have to use this installer, because I don't have a Windows partition to copy anything from. Any ideas?

Same problem here, CD1 is in the drive, and the installer is mounting the correct CD drive. Anyone have a clue?

My problem was solved by recompiling the kernel to support microsoft Joliet cd-roms format.

File Systems -> ISO 9660 CDROM file system support
File Systems -> Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions

Gonna give that a go, I didnt have Joliet enabled being as I rarely need it. Thanks for the advice.

Ah, many thanks for this hint, Boricacid! My kernel indeed doesn't support these extensions at the moment. I will give this a try later.

That was the magic problem. Thanks again.
