cdrom problems
Hello! I've installed v1.3.1 from the Official Debian Binary cd, I've used a noname 24x cdrom drive for installation. Now I had to give back that drive, now I have a Creative/Matshita CR-581 quad-speed drive. Every time I mount a cd with the command line: itom# mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hdd /cdrom I get a message which says: '/dev/hdd: media changed' which I didn't receive once with the other drive. Is this an error, or what? The second thing is that when I try to use dselect I get an error message, (I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly) which says that 'a bad or corrupted or sg. like that cd detected, using cruft (?), interleaved files not (yet) supported'. I didn't have any problems with the other drive with this Debian cd. Does anyone has any ideas about it? This Matshita drive is connected to the secondary ide controller for slave mode (like the other was). Pse excuse me a little offtopic: I had problems with this drive under win95, too, but changing the driver program from a usual cdatapi.sys to a cr_atapi.sys helped.

Re: cdrom problems
I thought this was normal. It means the kernel's noticed you've got a different CD-ROM in than last time it looked. OK Thanks. interleaved files not (yet) supported'. I didn't have any problems with the other drive with this Debian cd. The exact error message would help. Also, what do you get in `dmesg | more' starting from the ide: line? Here's the message: ISO9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A Interleaved files not (yet) supported. Warning: defective cdrom (volume sequence number). Enabling cruft mount option. If it didn't recognise it properly (rare now) maybe adding hdd=cdrom will help. I read this in the cdrom HOWTO. Where should I add it?

a dummy question
Hello, excuse me for my extreme dummy question, but I'm absolutely new to unix/linux/debian. Is there any step-by-step installation guide to install debian onto a win nt/95 system, even if I have to repartition it, I must have them after the debian installation. I have a debian 1.3.1 CD from CheapBytes. Thanx, ITom from WebIroda [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
