Well if you have your CD mounted, it's just another file system. /mnt/cdrom or whatever right? Therefore if you make a directory - say ~/cdrom and copy the contents of the CD to it and make everything from ~/cdrom on down read only, wouldn't that look pretty much the same?
Maybe you are thinking in windoze terms. Basically the cd emulators exist to associate a drive letter with a file (usually the ISO image of the CD). But in a real operating system, where everything is already a file.... Or am I missing something here?
