Re: /cdrom & /cdrom0
Hi, I had the same trouble and the reason was a command called discover. So, as you did, I removed the cdrom0 and cdrom1 (in my case), then I removed the symbolik link /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom[0-1], so I created the link /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrw(I prefer to use it) like I use in my /etc/fstab to mount my cdroms.

The install creates two directories as mount points /floppy, /cdrom and cdrom0. Now I have read the FHS and I know that this kind of media should be now mounted in /media/floppy and /media/cdrom, and I see that Testing does create these mount points. > > > >Anyway I deleted what I took to be the surplus /floppy, /cdrom and /cdrom0 and removed references to them from the /etc/fstab. > > > >I rebooted the machine and was a little surprised to see that although /floppy stayed gone, /cdrom and /cdrom0 had both returned. > > > >Why are they there?

I am curious about one thing though. The install creates two directories as mount points /floppy, /cdrom and cdrom0. Now I have read the FHS and I know that this kind of media should be now mounted in /media/floppy and /media/cdrom, and I see that Testing does create these mount points. Anyway I deleted what I took to be the surplus /floppy, /cdrom and /cdrom0 and removed references to them from the /etc/fstab. I rebooted the machine and was a little surprised to see that although /floppy stayed gone, /cdrom and /cdrom0 had both returned. Why are they there? Why do they keep coming back after I zap them Keith. I never got a good answer for this either. I concluded it was a result of discover. Don't know if it is true or not. -- Damon L.

/cdrom & /cdrom0
Hi, I just installed testing from the beta 4 netinstall cd, on three machines and it is by far the best installation I have done, the hardware recognition made the whole thing a piece of cake. I am curious about one thing though. The install creates two directories as mount points /floppy, /cdrom and cdrom0. Now I have read the FHS and I know that this kind of media should be now mounted in /media/floppy and /media/cdrom, and I see that Testing does create these mount points. Anyway I deleted what I took to be the surplus /floppy, /cdrom and /cdrom0 and removed references to them from the /etc/fstab. I rebooted the machine and was a little surprised to see that although /floppy stayed gone, /cdrom and /cdrom0 had both returned. Why are they there? Why do they keep coming back after I zap them Keith. -- _ Keith O'Connell. Maidstone, Kent. (UK) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
