Encyclopaedia Britannica on Linux

Hi!
	I got hold of the CD version of the EB, and have tried to run it
from within Linux with wine (I don't have a Windoze licence). I managed
to install netscrape and the EB db on the windows directory, but when I
start the EB software, I get this problem: the program asks me for the
EB CD-ROM, which is inserted and "supermounted", but the software won't
recognise it, and will prompt for it ad nauseam. I played around with
the EB ini files, and changed everything to lower case (as a Linux dir
on the CDrom shows to be), but still no success. I also put a label in
wine.conf for the CD as detailed in the documentation (dd if....), to no
avail. If I dejasearch for it, all I get is some dodgy geezer selling
CDs with porn, linux distros and EB among other things (now, if you buy
that, what do you need your modem for? :D).

	Does anyone have any help, or a pointer to where I can go and
ask for wisdom and enlightment?

	Thanks
	José
