hello i have posted this script on usalug already as you might have known
but i need a bit of help in perfecting it...
what it does is copies all the .pk4 files off your doom3 cds into the appropriate folder then downloads and runs the doom3 linux graphical installer.
The only problem with it is that when you insert the cd and the script tries to "cd" to the appropriate directory it often says it can't find the cd...
is there a way round this problem or is it simply a problem with my cds....

are you mounting the drive once the cd is inserted?
like... before you cd to the directory are you sure it is mounted?

you mount a cdrom in bash the same way you mount it on the command line... everything you do in a script you can do from a command line and visa versa...
right before you cd to the directory
to

Code:

mount <device> <directory>
sleep .5

ofcourse you have to fill in the device and directory fields on that
and the sleep .5 makes sure that the drive is mounted before you continue

just a couple things

Quote:

#configure this bit #
user="rob" #
cdlocation="/mnt/cdrom" #
#end of config section #

now... if you are using the user that is running the script...
bash has it's own variable you can use for that...
$USER
in your console do:

Code:

echo $USER

as far as where the cdrom is located... i would have the user fill that on the fly
especially if it's not mounted yet...

that's good... i was thinking you would have to unmount the drive first... it's interesting it unmounts on its own apparently

nice changes though
