Dear my friends, I moved my cdrom drive from Slave of IDE-0 to slave of IDE-1. My SuSE Linux 8.1 than detected that there is a new cdrom found and it prompted asking a question whether I want to install the driver for the cdrom. My answer in the prompt was "yes". I can mount the cdrom and use its content properly. But the problem comes when I want to install some software from YaST2, because YaST2 says always that there is no cdrom inserted into the cdrom. What should I do, my friend ? What is the solution of my problem ? Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus � Powerful.

__________________________________________________ you need to redefine the installation medium. It's looking for the old cdrom, and doesn't know anything about the new one. go yast2 > software > change source of ... delete the entry that is there, and add a new one pointing to the new drive. you might want to check if /dev/cdrom points to the right drive. if not change the link.
