Hi, I am using mandrake 8.1 with KDE on a Dell i8100 laptop.
I have one CD-ROM working fine with a desktop short cut. (I did not set it up - a friend did it for me.) It is in fact a DVD CD-RW combo in the fixed media bay. I have only the cdrom working and also audio CDs will work from that drive, under "Services". I have played Audio CDs from that drive. I'd like to get all the devices working. I will add possible relevant info i have gleaned below. I am very new to linux, so even links to relevant files might be of use, though i simply could not grasp the CD-ROM HOW-TO. Other than somehow they are all treated as SCSI devices? Walter ~~~ In the /dev directory i have cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1 cdrom2 in the /dev/cdroms directory there are only 3 files: cdrom0 cdrom1 cdrom2 The cdrom.desktop shortcuts indicates that the Device is: /dev/cdrom1 it points (read only) to /mnt/cdrom I have tried creating another Icon pointing in various ways... however I get various I/O error messages - files not supported etc.
