wouldnt that be the same as just telling vmware in the software itself
to use the that iso image? i cant use vmware's virtual cdrom for this
project, it gives me errors on boot, i need to find a way to have it
mounted some other way like daemontools for windows. i have tried
just mounting the iso as a cdrom in folder /media/cdrom and other
places, but vmware complains that you cant use a folder like that. so
im kinda out of ideas. can it even be done?
