OK Antonio, I'll try to help you out : When looking at your "/etc/mtab" - file it seems that no CD-roms are mounted, eh ? To mount that one, several possibilities are at hand, included the "console-way", but personally I find it a lot easier to use a "graphics-way". But first, I'll suggest a basic option : In KDE, rightclick the desktop background and choose "create new", and, from the pull-down menu, select "CDROM device". Now, go to the "device"-tab and open the new "pull-down" menu. Here you should be able to select your CD-rom on "/dev/scd0". This action should place a new icon on your desktop. When right-clicking that, it displays some options like : "mount" , "eject" , "open" ..etc., etc.... If all is well, You just have to throw the CD into the "cupholder", close it and then click the CDROM-icon to display its content. Just like any other directory. Likewise, when you are finished and want to collect your CD, you can choose "eject" from the icon. That will automatically unmount it before ejecting. Cool, isn't it ? Another method (the one I prefer) is to rightclick the desktop and choose "run command". Then, type "kdf" (without the quotes, of course). This will open the "disk-free" program. Here you can rightclick the CDrom and choose "mount device". Furthermore, you can open it right away in a file-manager. Cool, eh ? Now, all this is possible only if your "/etc/fstab" contains the appropriate entries. As far as I can see from your "/etc/fstab", you do not have an entry for a second CDROM, or maybe a CD-Writer. That one should show up in a line, something like this : /dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 Eventually, you can proceed to create another icon for this one, as previously described. Of course you have to edit your "/etc/lilo.conf" accordingly (the "append" - line) before any of the above actions can be effective. - Again : remember to issue the "lilo"-command (as root) after editing and saving the file. Then reboot to let the kernel take notion of your changes. BTW - Antonio, your questions about CDROMs are quite frequent on the newbie-list, so I think it is a good idea to search that, if you run into further troubles. In this spirit I will post my answer to the list as well. After all, we are here to learn from eachothers experiences, aren't we ? Kaj Haulrich
