7.2 is kinda buggy with the CDROM. If it mounts OK, then you can use it.
In Terminal login to root ('su' then password), then 'umount cdrom' to unmount
it, swap the CD then 'mount /mnt/cdrom' and you can read the new one.

hi, i was wondering how you can tell if your cd rom is mounted or not. i
have mandrake 7.2 complete installed over windows with lnx4win. if i load a
cd into the cd rom while in windows, and than boot into linux, i am able to
read the cd. if i am already in linux, and put a cd in , i get errors, and
it won't let me read the cd. how would i be able to tell if the cd rom is
mounted, and if it isn't, how would i go about doing that. thanks for
you're help.
mike
