OK so I have a hare-brained idea.
My kids have about a dozen CD-based games. It's a pain having to swap
them all the time; besides, they get all gooey and they're a pain to
clean and the CD-ROM is noisy and slow to boot.
So I was recompiling my kernel and saw this little tidbit:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP:
Saying Y here will allow you to use a regular file as a block device;
you can then create a file system on that block device and mount it just
as you would mount other block devices such as hard drive partitions,
CDROM drives or floppy drives.
Here's the idea:
Take an old 6.5 GB HD, create a bunch of CD-ROM images on it, mount them
via the loopback device as CDs. Then have Win4Lin use them as CD-ROM
drives.
Has anyone tried this? Does anyone know if this will blow win4lin's
mind? Is this possible?
