Greetings,
Recently I picked up Peter Gabriel's _Up_ disc. In the fine print on the
outside of the case it says "This is an enhanced CD. Please put it in
your computer."
Of course, the finer print inside says that by "computer" they mean a PC
or a Mac. My linux box won't recognize the executable to play the durn
thing: it's encoded so that on a CD-ROM the tracks can't be accessed
directly.
Well, this is the common problem of Peter Gabriel's 'Up' and 'OvO'
and Yes's 'The Ladder' and many others :-)
Two questions:
1) Is there a linux utility that can deal with such?
You will never believe - it's called "mount" :-)
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Assuming there can be some _Windows_ executable file, try run it
with WINE.
