RE: [newbie] CDRW/DVD mounting problems
Well.. This is what I have done. I didn't get a chance to see whether it works 100% perfect but I tried John's advice but like I thought, the terminal looked at me and shrieked with laughter. I got very, very annoyed and proceeded to do the following: In /mnt I created two new directories - DVD and CD-RW. Then I chose these as mounting points for my drives respectively. Once I realised both were recognised and working I removed cdrom and cdrom2 from /mnt. as far as I know, everything is working now. I have a mounting point for each drive which has a name which implies what the directory is for. If every thing goes according to plan Why the hell didn't I think about it before? It won't backfire on me or anything, will it?
