so the question is: is there any way to have a copy of the cd on the hard drive mounted as a cdrom - somehow.?..

Copy the CD image somewhere: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd_image Mount that image: mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cd_image /media/cdrom (source: CD-Writing-HOWTO.gz) But, if the program (matlab?) reads the cdrom device directly, it will fail your purpose. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
