This is a quick hack to allow vmware to boot ISO image files, which means you can test an ISO without burning a cdrom. To build just type "make" then copy fakecd.so to somewhere like /lib/ and add the path to fakecd.so into /etc/ld.so.preload After that you just need to tell vmware to use your iso image instead of /dev/cdrom. The ISO must have a filename ending in ".iso". tridge@linuxcare.com October 2000
