I also can't figure out what wierd thing happened to my cdroms. I have a DVD player, and an HP cd burner.
That is your problem.. apparently the programs can't , at least not yet , actually produce the view that is in Konqueror ( easiest wayt to rip cds into whatever variation of new versions you wish ( ogg, mp3, wave etc ) ) IF there is more than one "cd" which is esentially what you have. And even if you don't want to use soemthing as exotic as the konqueror setup there seems to be some sort of confusion when there is more than one "cd" setup on the box. I suspect the problems you are having, W/ the Cdroms ,relate to that. Also , be sure that if you are trying to play music cds that the sound card is actually setup for the music cd player, adn the speakers are set to the sound card . (Ie they are plugged into the sound card ) I have two sound cardds and that has caught me out a couple of times. IIRC there was something about this back in the 7.3 documentation ? somehwere in all those books evryone complains about every time a new version of Suse comes out. Could be 8.0 tho. I'm pretty sure there must be something in the hardware database, or posibley Togan's Unofficial Suse Faq .. which I'm sure soemone can supply the url for... I , unfortunatly have a "memory leak" today of the proportions that make a black hole look tiny and insignificant. You didn't mention the version so I have no idea what might be happeing w/ the rest of your box... Tho it does take a long , and tending toward very long, time to get everything installed and setup at once.. It might be better if you settle on a default installation that you can live w/ ( your defualt if you like ) and get the problems w/ this or that widget settled before you attemtp to load up everything on the dvd! If there is a binery or "do it yourself tar package" of whatever is installed by red hat for your wireless stuff you problably install it on your suse box.. just an idea -- j afterthought: Life after death? Is that like terminate and stay resident?
