faking a cdrom

Dear all, Here is a more challenging question for the technically minded out there... Matlab requires its docs cd in the drive before it runs. this is rather inconvenient as i can't play music while working and also it slows it down because it checks for any help on the cd all the time. so the question is: is there any way to have a copy of the cd on the hard drive mounted as a cdrom - somehow.?.. i'm running suse 8.2/xd2 thanks, j. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
