Hey, I'm a first timer to playonlinux
So I installed playonlinux to play some Max Payne, but I the install script that comes with playonlinux did not work.
First I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and I had some problems with how it mounts the install cd (something about spaces in the mount directory), so remounted it from "Max Payne" to "max".
After that I could see that the script provided with playonlinux also did not follow the documentation, so I wrote a new script that now work on my machine. So feel free to test this script and come with some feedback on the script.
