I'm pretty new to Ubuntu but getting the hang of things, or at least I think I am.

One of my buddies told me about the software and I downloaded/updated it. I've tried to install two games (Caesar, Settlers 4) but both ask me for my cdrom location. This is about as far as I've gotten....I realize I'm probably missing something entirely but I spent last night and this morning trying to figure it out. I can't really find any information about this issue on the website or forums, or the wiki though it was merely mentioned once.

Basically, what should I be doing at this point? Not a single of the three options presented work and so I just cancel the installation.

What version of PlayOnLinux do you use and can you state clearly your problem in one sentence?

Same problem.

My PlayOnLinux version is 3.7.6.

Game wants CD Rom location before the download.

There isn't any folders (in Media folder).

After inserting DVD or CD folder "cdrom" appears.
