Ok first about your CD rom. if you are using linix Mandrake 7.2
you should have Drake config installed. At least I do but I not running
linux4Windows. Run drake config (go into) -> "linix config - system
configutartion" -> file systems -> access local drive. From there you
should be able to mount and unmount your CD ROM. I have installed Linux
7.2 (stand alone I dont know anything about this lnx4win) and have no
problem with this CD rom bizzo as I belive supermount mounts and
unmounts it for me.
As for the debugger I have never heard of ddd (typeo?). there is a gdb
debugger though and I will tell you the probelm I am currently stuck on.
Linux Mandrake dost not have the debug symbols in there libraries/kernal
??? (I'm not sure which) by default. so you cant use a debugger until
you recomplile some part of it. For instance I deliberatly caused a
access violation (segmentation fault) in my code and although the kernal
nukes my app with segmentation fault is does not do a core dump that I
can run a dubber over to find the offending line.... :( This souldnt be
hard to fix / turn on I have only just stated looking for a solution.
