[Wine] WC3 - please insert CD problem

[Walt Ogburn]

You can't use "ln" that way.  That's what you see when you do "ls -l" on a
symlink, not how you make one.  In the line you typed, the last part ">
/mnt/cdrom" is trying to write whatever the output of the command was to
/mnt/cdrom, and of course that doesn't work.

What you need to do is

ln -s /mnt/cdrom "~/.wine/dosdevices/d:"

It's also true that you will do better with a more recent version of wine,
but that's not the problem here.
