also detects `virtual CD` and aborts instalation of updates(boingbags)."

The boing Bags will work without the CD.  The trick is to get the passwords that are available elsewhere in a different thread, unzip the files, and use your file manager program to put in the updates.

I think if you search "serial.device" you will find the info you need.  The serial.device is buggy in the 2nd Boing Bag and most people use the one in Boing Bag 1.  If you don't find this out until after everything is installed, you have a buggy version.  If you use the password and dissolve Boing Bag 1 you can leech the needed file out and use it to replace the buggy one.
