just mount any folder as cdrom

so mount d c:\ -t cdrom will probably work as well

[xuxu]

thanks for these suggestions -- it didn't ask anymore for the cdrom k: after i had mounted like you two suggested but now after i type in the "game" it quickly says something about initializing and then after that i only see black screen and nothing happens after that. (and whole program ends up freezing.) where to from here?

1 - download game (to c:\)
2 - unzip game to a folder c:\ld (this folder needs to be created)
3 - download DOSBox .63
4 - install DOSBox .63
5 - run DOSBox .63:
(type the lines and press enter after each one)
mount c c:\
mount d X:\ -t cdrom (for X use the letter of your CDROM drive)
c:
cd ld
install (choose the folder you wish to install it too)
start

Thanks alot! Works fine for me but i miss the music... how much bigger would the file be if you added all music?

Also, I got stuck! Anyone who knows what to do in the jump-from-stone-to-stone room?

As far as I remember you need to get to the other side (but I think you need some things before entering). It's been so long since I played it last...

For the music - well it's not really that awesome, but it would be nice if we could add it. But the files are rather big - and we are trying to save as much bandwidth as possible.

What files make up the music?
I've got the cd version of the game (regrettably I lost my code wheel ), and the entire cd is barely larger then what the abandonia download installs on your system :blink:
The GFX on the cd is about as large as the GFX installed by the download, the GFX the cd installs is only 1.31 MB... The music can't be that big. Or am I missing something?

EDIT: Off topic, I suddenly noticed my cd has a label warning not to play track one on any audio cd player. Made me smile
