I am having a problem ejecting the CDROM after booting the system from the CDROM. (Just whiy I am booting from the CDROM is another problem which has me seriously contemplating a change in Linux distributions.).

you need to either a) change dir directory away from /media/CDROM (try cd /) b) start the console from another location (cd /; konsole &)
Thanks for the resp;onse to my query. The CD is definaely mounted to /media/CDROM.
I noticed that the permissions on /media and /media/CDROM are root/root. Could this be the problem? I am very lothe about messing around with permissions.
So apparently I have a work around, but I would rather have the os work the way it is supposed (and used) to.
from the output of lsof above, that will definitely be your problem, even if permissions are right. there was never a question as to where the cdrom was mounted, rather your konsole has /media/CDROM as its curring working directory (cwd) That will be either because that was where it was started (in which case you have to start it from elsewhere), or because your shell has /media/CDROM as its cwd (which would be the case if ~ was /media/CDROM - I think that is unlikely though, because we'd see bash having that cwd instead of konsole..) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
