[ILUG] Mandrake 8.1

[Darragh Rogan]

I did all that, and now I can read fromt he cd burner in the toast program,
but cant click on the /mnt/cdrom , cdrom0 or cdrom1 and read anything?

Would I be better off with a different window manager?

Thansk,

Darragh

For the cdrom stuff, try doing

ls -l /dev/cdrom*

if you see /dev/cdrom0 is a link to ../cdroms/cdrom0 then you
can be fix it by editing /etc/devfsd.conf and changing

LOOKUP		^cdrom$		CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink cdroms/cdrom0 $devpath

to

LOOKUP		^cdrom$		CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink cdroms/cdrom0 cdrom

and then restart devfsd by find it's process id, xxx say, and sending it a
HUP signal with

kill -HUP xxx

If those instruction are total gibberish to you, let me know,
