Vic,
Settle down, take a few deep breaths, and short walk in the woods,
But not neccasarily in that order.
My next few comments are not intended to be demeaning - ok?
I'm getting on a bit now but I, like you, am learning more and more
everyday I climb into Linux as you will too.
It's important to take one step at a time at this early stage.
It's also important to readup as much as you can - there is an
emense volume of info out there.
There are several very good websites to look thru and two of the
best (my view) are:
http://www.Linuxnewbie.org
and
http://www.MandrakeUser.org
Both of these sites have heaps of very helpful information on them.
and you should take the time to peruse them - ok?
=============
Right then. I've come late into this thread, I haven't been following
your tribulations, but it would appear you are have difficulty getting
your cdrom(s) recognised.
Question #1 - which distribution are you using?
Question #2 - How many CDROM drives do you have?
Question #3 - are you able to READ from either drive yet?
I'm happy to try and help you from here (16 hours into your future),
however Tom Brinkman is one of the most useful help utilities you
have right nor right here on the list - take note on EVERYTHING he
has to say regardless of the subject - you'll run into these things I
promise!! (Apoligies to Tom!!)
Email me direct if you wish - I'll try to help.
Cheers
John
