Ive had a problem, and figured out a (bad..) workaround with the software manager.
The problem was it was getting mixed up over my 2 cdroms (1 dvd, 1 cdrw). When trying to install a package, it would eject the dvdrom, (/mnt/cdrom), yet the popup message would be saying put the disk in /mnt/cdrom2 which is the cdrw. Ignoring the dvdrom and putting the disc in the cdrw did not help as it was still looking at the dvdrom, but would not see any disc in the drive..... For some reason the software manager had its links between /dev/hdc (the dvdrom) and /mnt/cdrom2 (the cdrw) mixed up. Trying to edit the software sources didnt help either, they are pointing at removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS, so im confused as to where cdrom2 gets picked up from..... In the end, i've added this to fstab none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 and am now pointing the cdrw at /mnt/cdrom3 messy but works..... :( Terry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
