[newbie] Can't install packages using CD writer.
I've Mandrake Linux 9.1 as my OS. I want to install packages using my CD writer(as rpmdrake 9.1 doesn't give any other choice) which is /mnt/cdrom. After executing the command 'mount', I got the following information about my CD writer: none on /mnt/cdrom type supermount (ro, dev=/dev/scd0, fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso 885 9-1, codepage = 850, umask=0) My CD writer is ATAPI Hewlett Packard Plus 8100 series. Now I wanna mount my cd writer before installing packages using rpmdrake. I tried: mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom also: mount /mnt/cdrom and I also tried: mount /dev/scd0 In all of these above stated cases my system freezes and mouse or keyboard doesn't work. I also tried without mounting the device but still have the problem. Can anyone tell me how I can fix this problem? Thanks. --AD _ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Or is there if any a workaround? well, a 'workaround' is to copy the contents of the installation CDs to /usr/src/mdkcd1, etc. then change the path in the MCC to your HD instead of the CDs. this is not a solution, obviously, you should not experience this problem. try in a terminal as root: urpmi drakwizard and report back! schnell! raus! -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 ++ He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book. -- B.
