Linux can read CDs.
If you're using Wine/WineX, you need to set a drive letter for the CD-ROM mount point in the configuration file.
For example, make a section like this in ~/.wine/config (or ~/.winex/config)
Code:
[Drive E]
"Path" = "/mnt/cdrom"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CDROM"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
There should be some CD-ROM examples in the configuration file already if this isn't enough.
If your emulator doesn't support mounting directories like that, you can still copy everything from the CD and put it in the emulator root (C:\) folder. Or even make a symbolic link in there to the CD-ROM mount point (e.g. "ln -s /mnt/cdrom ~/.emulator/c_drive/cdrom", replacing with the appropriate paths)
