Hello everyone who loves linux! I am brand new to linux, and I don't really know how to do anything yet! I am having a huge problem with my cd drives,though. I had no problem during the install, but now that linux is running, the cd drives refuse to work with any other cd's than the suse disks! I can't even get a music cd to play...everytime i try to mount the cd drives, i get an error that tells me there is no such directory as dev/cdrom. I have a plextor cd burner, and an artec 56x cdrom drive. If anyone can tell me how to fix this problem I would appreciate it a whole lot. Hopefully when i get all of the bugs worked out, I can join all of you who love linux! My email address is nobuffet_04@hotmail.com
Thanks Alot, Josh T.
For music CD's, you do not mount them. Just put them in and use kscd (for example) to play it. Only data CD's are mounted. Also, if you're system didn't setup well for burning CD's, download the latest cdrtools and install it/them and you should be able to burn CD's without a hitch. John
