Re: [newbie] Removable media problem
Well I think we are near the finish on this. Kwikdisk shows everything but the cdrom still does not mount. But the good news is I can right click on the desktop go to new and create a icon that works for the floppy and dvd but when I do it for the cdrom it still errors out. This tells me that either my new drive is bad or my cable is bad. I really appreciate the help you and the others gave to me and much happier, all I have left now is to figure out how to setup the decss for xine and the I will be in heaven. Thanks again.

Re: [newbie] Removable media problem
After disable supermount you need under kde create one icon for the cdrom and other for the floppy; under gnome you just can click right on the desktop an select a cdrom or floppy to mount it automatically. For kde proced in the next way: 1) Right click on the desktop, select create new, then cdrom drive (Sorry, it is a litteral translation from Spanish, perhaps in your language the labels are different), and remember in the third label (Dispositive) to select the appropriate device (for example, /mnt/cdrom or /mnt/scd0.). The same for a floppy, just start selecting floppy. -- Francisco Alcaraz Ariza Departamento de Biología Vegetal Universidad de Murcia Campus de Espinardo E-30100 Murcia España (Spain) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Good hunting, HarM Harm, this has always worked for me: supermount -i disable delete all icons that are affected right-click (where you want them) then re-install them, picking the correct devices Now -the important part: mount -a (and if that don't work - reboot) You'll find that everything works fine then.
