Hi, looking at the first message was the soft link listed a typo when you show "....scd0 scdrom"? it should have been "...cdrom". I did not have to do this with my install, but that is neither here nor there. Since you had it going it made the link so what I would do is make a new desktop short cut. Go to an empty place on the desktop with the pointer and right click. On the pop up select "make new cdrom device" or what ever it says. It will pop up a new box change the title to your choice, like "CDRW" click on execute and then the selection arrow and select the /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom line (sorry I'm not at my linux computer so that may be a paraphrase). Selecting that will add the link to the desk top. then click on the desktop icon symbol and it will start loading application icons, click on the arrow you want device icons, select the cd burner mount icon click on it and then click ok and you should have a new desktop icon that actually works. Need any help with this come on back to the list, HTH Dennis M.

Subject: Re: [newbie] cdrom device busy
After sending the last message I sutdown the system. It took several tries
to log out and then on shutdown it stopped at an error message that said
"Kernel Panic" and "Supermount Panic". I finally shut off the power and
started back up again.
